Prior research suggest that maternal polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) could have protective effects on neurodevelopmental outcomes. To examine associations between maternal PUFA intake during pregnancy and risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other non-typical development (Non-TD) in a prospective cohort. Eligible women already had a child with ASD and were planning a pregnancy or were pregnant with another child. Children were clinically assessed longitudinally and diagnosed at 36 months. Maternal PUFA intake during pregnancy was estimated using food frequency questionnaires. Maternal third-trimester plasma PUFA concentration was measured by Gas Chromatography. 258 mother-child pairs were included. Mothers consuming more total omega3 in the 2nd half of pregnancy were 40% less likely to have children with ASD (RR = 0.6, 95% CI: 0.3–0.98). No significant associations were observed between maternal third-trimester plasma PUFA subtype concentrations and risk of ASD. However, higher plasma eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) concentrations were associated with lower Non-TD risk (RR ranging from 0.93–0.99). This study provides suggestive evidence on associations between maternal omega3 intake during pregnancy and risk of ASD in the children but not with third-trimester plasma PUFAs. Further research is needed to evaluate these potential relationships. Prior studies suggest that maternal polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) intake during pregnancy may have protective effects on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in their children. However, they did not examine maternal PUFA intake by detailed timing during pregnancy as well as via evaluating levels in plasma samples. This study investigates whether maternal PUFAs in defined time windows of pregnancy, assessed by both questionnaires and biomarkers, are associated with risk of ASD and other non-typical development (Non-TD) in the children. Food frequency questionnaires were used to estimate maternal PUFA intake during the first and second half of pregnancy. Gas Chromatography measured maternal plasma PUFA concentrations in the third-trimester. 258 mother-child pairs from a prospective cohort were included. Mothers were those who already had a child with ASD and were planning a pregnancy or pregnant with another child. Children were clinically assessed longitudinally and diagnosed at 36 months. For PUFA intake from questionnaires, we only found mothers consuming more omega3 in the second half of pregnancy were 40% less likely to have children with ASD. For PUFA concentrations in the third-trimester plasma, we did not observe any statistical significance in relation to the risk of ASD. However, our study confirmed associations from previous studies between higher maternal docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) plasma concentrations in the late pregnancy and reduced risk for Non-TD. This study markedly advanced understandings of whether and when maternal PUFA intake influence risk for ASD and set the stage for prevention at the behavioral and educational level.
