Deliverables

Report on the participation to the IHMC congress in Barcelona 2020

Report on the outcomes of the participation of GEMMA at the 8th International Human Microbiome Congress in 2020 (Barcelona)

Final clinical protocols

Study protocols to submit for the approbation to the ethical committee

Pre-clinical study 2 report

A report providing the results of the trial 2 to investigate if the ASD phenotype is dependent on microbiome-induced systemic immune activation, via adoptive splenocyte transfer studies

Theoretical qualitative models of ASD pathogenesis mechanisms

A model specifically detail the mechanisms whereby alterations in gut microbiome may lead to persistent, low-grade feverless systemic inflammation and how this could then affect CNS metabolism and neuronal arborescence preferentially in male developing infants

Pre-clinical study 3/2 report

A second report providing the results of trial 3 to establish whether correction of dysbiosis by pre/pro/symbiotic intervention prevents and/or treats increased the impaired gut permeability, changes in metabolic profile, modification of the immune response, and, ultimately, the onset of ASD behavioural symptoms in humanized murine models of ASD (mice transplanted with faecal bacterial content of ASD patient donor sample

Pre-clinical study ethical approval report

A study protocol to submit for the approbation to the ethical committee

Pre-clinical study 1 report

A report providing the results of the the trial 1 focus on exploring if the behavioural phenotype of ASD patients is transferrable to mice via faecal transplantation

Genome, epigenome and immune function interplay summary of hypothesis

An hypothesis regarding how the genome/metagenome interplay is responsible for the switch from immune tolerance to immune response to environmental stimuli (antigens) including dietary and microbial factors leading to neuroinflammation responsible of behavioural changes that characterize ASD and gut inflammation causing its GI co-morbidities

Pre-clinical study 3/3 report

A third report providing the results of trial 3 to establish whether correction of dysbiosis by pre/pro/symbiotic intervention prevents and/or treats increased the impaired gut permeability, changes in metabolic profile, modification of the immune response, and, ultimately, the onset of ASD behavioural symptoms in humanized murine models of ASD (mice transplanted with faecal bacterial content of ASD patient donor sample

Updated state of the art report

Report providing a brief relation about the state of the art in the ASD biomarker and therapy

Microbiome, metabolome and immune function interplay summary of hypothesis

An hypothesis regarding how the gut bacterial dysbiosis leads to epigenetic modifications, changes in metabolic profiles, increased gut permeability, increased antigen trafficking and, ultimately to altered immune responses to promote disease in a subset of individuals at-risk of ASD

Pre-clinical study 3/1 report

A first report providing the results of trial 3 to establish whether correction of dysbiosis by pre/pro/symbiotic intervention prevents and/or treats increased the impaired gut permeability, changes in metabolic profile, modification of the immune response, and, ultimately, the onset of ASD behavioural symptoms in humanized murine models of ASD (mice transplanted with faecal bacterial content of ASD patient donor sample

First release of the multi-omics platform (pre-clinical trials)

An algorithms able to associate various biomarker levels observed in infants with ASD and GI symptoms. This alghorithm will use advanced statistical analysis methods such as sparse canonical correlation (a linear correlation method) combined with random forests (a non-linear correlation method) to detect these associations between the omics data.

Second release of the multi-omics platform (observational trials)

An analysis of the fitting between the correlations put forward by the multi-omics analyses and the biological outcome of the interventional part of the observational study

OmnomicsNGS v2 release

A new relase of the software OmnomicsNGS including a tool for dynamic variant analysis and interpretation
