Summary
This small, exploratory study tested whether spironolactone, a drug commonly used for high blood pressure, could help children with specific NCOR gene mutations who also have autism. The goal was to see if the drug could improve learning, memory, and autism-related behaviors. Only two children participated, and researchers measured changes in their intelligence, behavior, and daily living skills.
