Abstract
The paper presents the results of a study of the levels of important regulatory mediators of neurogenesis and neuroplasticity: IL-6 and IFN-γ in the blood plasma of children with schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders with diff erent phenotypes of social behavior. Children with schizophrenia have been found to have signifi cantly high levels of the cytokines, both in comparison with typically developing children and with children with autism. The heterogeneous group of children with autism, a feature of which is the partial loss of previously acquired social skills – «Regression», is characterized by intermediate IL-6 and IFN-γ values and, as we assume, can include children with schizophrenia.
