Why families consider the MAR-Autism Test
Understand more
Learn whether a specific maternal autoantibody-associated subtype may be involved in your family's autism experience.
Support earlier conversations
Results may provide additional information for conversations with your healthcare provider about developmental evaluation and support..
Plan for your family
For mothers who already have a child with autism, results may provide information that can be discussed when considering future children.
What does a positive result mean?
If the specific maternal autoantibody pattern is detected, the result is associated with greater than 97% likelihood of an autism diagnosis in current or future children.
Important: A negative result does not rule out autism. The test evaluates one specific maternal-autoantibody-associated subtype and does not assess other genetic or environmental contributors.
That qualification is particularly important because your HCP page already makes clear that the test itself does not diagnose autism and a negative result does not rule autism out.
