We will evaluate gaze fixation time on social region by Gazefinder as quantitative behavior indices reflecting social deficits of subjects.
In order to investigate mitochondrial abnormality of the subjects, we will extract lymphocytes from peripheral blood of them and examine profiles of mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis by using extracellular flux analysis.
