CHALLENGE

Rising autism prevalence and
longer wait times for diagnosis

According to the CDC, 1 in 44 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with ASD. Even though ASD can be clinically diagnosed as early as 2 years, the average age of diagnosis is currently 4 years of age. A biological, diagnostic tool can further inform clinical judgment and substantially improve early identification.

Rising autism prevalence and longer wait times for diagnosis

“There has clearly been an increase in prevalence of autism spectrum disorder in our society. Our goal is to facilitate diagnosis in younger children and maximize the potential for interventions to improve abilities, outcomes and quality of life.”

DISCOVERY

Cutting-edge breakthroughs in epigenetic research

Clarifi ASD is not a genetic test. It is the product of scientific advancements in the area of epigenetics; the factors that influence how genes are turned on and off. Our peer-reviewed research discovered that certain RNA molecules that regulate genetic activity and reflect interactions between a patient and their environment, were different in children with autism.

Translating the science into practical solutions

“A test which can separate children who have screened M-CHAT positive into high likelihood of autism or low likelihood of autism could help streamline waitlists and permit earlier diagnosis and enrollment in autism treatment.”
