Zinn University of Melbourne Melbourne, VIC, Australia Palgrave’s Critical Studies in Risk and Uncertainty series publishes mono- graphs, edited volumes and Palgrave Pivots that capture and analyse how societies, organisations, groups and individuals experience and confront uncertain futures. This series will provide a multidisciplinary home to consolidate this dynamic and growing academic field, bringing together and representing the state of the art on various topics within the broader domain of crit- ical studies of risk and uncertainty. Moreover, the series is sensitive to the broader political, structural and socio-cultural conditions in which particular approaches to complexity and uncertainty become legitimated ahead of others. It provides cutting edge theoretical and empirical, as well as established and emerging methodological contributions, and welcomes projects on risk, trust, hope, intuition, emotions and faith. Explorations into the institutionalisation of approaches to uncertainty within regulatory and other governmental regimes are also of interest.

    EXPLORING MITOCHONDRIAL DNA ABNORMALITIES IN HIV-EXPOSED UNINFECTED CHILDREN DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER: A CASE CONTROL STUDY by Matthew Budd B.A., Mount Royal University, 2012 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Pathology and Laboratory Medicine) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2016 © Matthew Budd, 2016 Abstract Background: Antiretroviral therapy has reduced mother-to-child HIV transmission from 25- 40% to less than 2%. Thus, increasing numbers of HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) children are being born with perinatal exposure to antiretrovirals. Recently, a Canadian HIV clinic noticed a high prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in HEU children. This prompted our analysis of HEU children enrolled in the pan-Canadian Children & Women AntiRetrovirals & Markers of Aging (CARMA) cohort study. Significant differences in mitochondrial DNA to nuclear DNA ratio (mtDNA content) have been observed in ASD children and HEUs as a potential marker for mitochondrial dysfunction, which has been theorized as a possible mechanism underlying abnormal neurodevelopment. We hypothesized that HEU children with ASD would have significantly different leukocyte mtDNA content than HEU children without ASD and/or HUU children with and without ASD. Methods: CARMA HEU children with ASD (n=14) were matched 1:3 on age, sex, and ethnicity to HEU children without ASD (n=42), HUU anonymous controls (n=42), and HUU children with ASD in the BC Autism Spectrum Interdisciplinary Research (ASPIRE) program (n=42). Non-ASD HUU siblings of ASD children (n=9) were also studied and grouped with the HUU controls for the purposes of analyses (n=51 total).
