Today's press release about further solidification of RGEN's patent rights to using Secretin for treating autism included the following mention of new clinical evidence tending to corroborate the connection between low secretin levels and autism in children with gastrointestinal symptoms (which covers a large subset of the autism population):

"A recent study published in the Journal of Pediatrics (Horvath et al, Journal of Pediatrics 135 (5): 559-63) showed
that 75% of autistic children with gastrointestinal symptoms had a significantly greater pancreatic response to secretin compared
to children without the disorder, suggesting lack of normal secretin stimulation in this subset of autistic patients. Conducted at the
University of Maryland Medical Center, the study was designed to understand the underlying biology of secretin in autism."
