Maternal Multivitamin Intake, Plasma Folate and Vitamin B 12 Levels and Autism Spectrum Disorder Risk in Offspring
Open accessAbstract
Background: To examine the prospective association between multivitamin supplementation during pregnancy and biomarker measures of maternal plasma folate and vitamin B 12 levels at birth and child's Autism Spectrum Disorder ( ASD ) risk. Methods: This report included 1257 mother–child pairs, who were recruited at birth and prospectively followed through childhood at the Boston Medical Center. ASD was defined from diagnostic codes in electronic medical records. Maternal multivitamin supplementation was assessed via questionnaire interview; maternal plasma folate and B 12 were measured from samples taken 2–3 days after birth. Results: Moderate (3–5 times/week) self‐reported supplementation during pregnancy was associated with decreased risk of ASD , consistent with previous findings. Using this as the reference group, low (≤2 times/week) and high (>5 times/week) supplementation was associated with increased risk of ASD . Very high levels of maternal plasma folate at birth (≥60.3 nmol/L) had 2.5 times increased risk of ASD [95% confidence interval ( CI ) 1.3, 4.6] compared to folate levels in the middle 80th percentile, after adjusting for covariates including MTHFR genotype. Similarly, very high B 12 (≥536.8 pmol/L) showed 2.5 times increased risk (95% CI 1.4, 4.5). Conclusion: There was a ‘U shaped’ relationship between maternal multivitamin supplementation frequency and ASD risk. Extremely high maternal plasma folate and B 12 levels at birth were associated with ASD risk. This hypothesis‐generating study does not question the importance of consuming adequate folic acid and vitamin B 12 during pregnancy; rather, raises new questions about the impact of extremely elevated levels of plasma folate and B 12 exposure in‐utero on early brain development.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
