"Of 50 biochemical pathways and 450 polar and lipid metabolites examined, the developmental regulation of the purine network was most changed. Purine network hub analysis revealed a 17-fold reversal in typically developing children. This purine network reversal did not occur in ASD."

That's a strong statement, and one which can be checked by others. Anyone trying to replicate this yet?

The article was published today, and study like that take months to do and then months again to be published especially in this kind of journals (thankfully they don't accept replications most of the time so it can get published by more reasonable venues).

Right. This is a result which indicates a research direction worth pursuing. That's about it for now.
