Understanding the Test
What Is the FRAT Test (Folic Receptor Antibody Test)?
The Folic Receptor Antibody Test — commonly called the FRAT Test — is a specialised blood test that detects autoantibodies directed against folate receptors in the brain. When these autoantibodies are present, they can block folate transport to the brain, leading to a condition known as Cerebral Folate Deficiency (CFD).
Folate is essential for normal neurological development. When its transport is blocked, it can cause significant developmental and neurological problems in children — including autism-like symptoms and developmental regression.
Who needs the FRAT test?
Children with Autism Spectrum DisorderResearch shows many autistic children have elevated folate receptor autoantibodies. Identifying this enables targeted therapy that can significantly improve outcomes.
Pregnant Women with ComplicationsWomen with recurrent pregnancy loss, neural tube defects in previous pregnancies, or unexplained pregnancy complications.
Children with Unexplained Neurological SymptomsWhen standard tests do not explain developmental delay, regression, or seizures, the FRAT test can provide critical diagnostic insight.
What happens after a positive FRAT test?
1
FRAT test confirms autoantibodies
Your NABL accredited report shows the exact level of folate receptor autoantibodies present in the blood.
2
Doctor reviews the report
Your neurologist or specialist reviews the quantitative results and confirms the diagnosis of Cerebral Folate Deficiency.
3
Treatment begins
High-dose folinic acid (leucovorin) therapy is prescribed — shown in studies to improve language, social skills, and cognition in children with positive FRAT results.
4
Measurable improvement
Early identification and treatment leads to significantly better neurological outcomes. Thousands of families worldwide have seen meaningful progress.
Important: Normal blood folate levels do NOT rule out Cerebral Folate Deficiency. Only the FRAT test can detect folate receptor autoantibodies blocking folate transport to the brain.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About FRAT Test
What is the FRAT test and what does it detect?
The FRAT test (Folic Receptor Antibody Test) is a specialised blood test that detects autoantibodies that block or bind to folate receptors in the brain. When present, they can prevent folate from reaching the brain — causing Cerebral Folate Deficiency (CFD). It is recommended for children with autism spectrum disorder, cerebral folate deficiency, and for women with pregnancy complications related to folate transport.
What is the FRAT test price at Altus Diagnostic?
The FRAT test price at Altus Diagnostic is ₹8,500. This covers USA standard testing at our NABL accredited laboratory and digital delivery of the NABL certified report in 5–7 working days. Home sample collection is available PAN India at an additional charge, confirmed at the time of booking based on your location. Call +91 89680 10467 for the complete quote including collection charges for your city.

The NABL certified FRAT test report is delivered within 5–7 working days of sample collection — faster than most competitors. The report is sent digitally via email and WhatsApp as a certified PDF. For urgent requirements, contact us at +91 89680 10467.
Why is the FRAT test recommended for children with autism?
Research has shown that a significant percentage of children with autism spectrum disorder have elevated folate receptor autoantibodies — proteins that block folate transport to the brain. When identified through the FRAT test, doctors can prescribe targeted folinic acid therapy, shown in clinical studies to improve language, social skills, and cognitive function. Early identification can make a measurable difference in your child's development.
What makes your FRAT test reports internationally accepted?
Our FRAT test uses USA standard protocols — the same methodology used in leading international diagnostic laboratories. Combined with our NABL accreditation, this ensures our reports meet the standards required by hospitals and specialists both in India and abroad. Many Indian families living or consulting internationally have successfully used our reports with their overseas specialists.
Can pregnant women take the FRAT test?
Yes. The FRAT test is recommended for certain pregnant women — particularly those with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss, neural tube defects in previous pregnancies, or unexplained pregnancy complications. We arrange safe home sample collection and deliver the NABL certified report within 5–7 working days. Always consult your doctor before booking during pregnancy.
What is the difference between the FRAT test and a regular folic acid test?
A regular folic acid test measures folate levels in your blood. The FRAT test detects autoantibodies that block the folate receptors in the brain — preventing folate from crossing the blood-brain barrier. Critically, normal blood folate levels do NOT rule out Cerebral Folate Deficiency. A patient can have normal blood folate levels but still have autoantibodies blocking folate from reaching the brain. Only the FRAT test can detect this specific, treatable condition.
How do I book the FRAT test at Altus Diagnostic?
Contact us via WhatsApp or call +91 89680 10467. Share your name, city, and the purpose of the test. Our team will confirm your appointment, provide pre-test instructions, and share the home collection charges for your location.
