  • FRAT® (Folate Receptor Antibody Test) is a diagnostic blood test that screens for Folate Receptor Autoantibodies. Developed in the laboratory of Dr. Edward Quadros at the State University of New York (SUNY Downstate), FRAT® is the only assay that identifies BOTH blocking and binding Folate Receptor Autoantibodies. FRAT®, as published in the New England Journal of Medicine, and used in numerous clinical trials, is the world's leading assay of its kind.

    The presence of Folate Receptor Autoantibodies suggests that folate (vitamin B9), which is an essential vitamin for proper growth and neurological function, is not being properly transported to the brain and into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

    Folate Receptor Autoantibodies have been found in Cerebral Folate Deficiency Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Depression, Schizophrenia as well as other neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders.

    Diagnosis of Folate Receptor Autoantibodies should be done as early as possible as this may affect treatment outcomes.

    Please consult your physician for further information.
