Abstract excerpt
It was reported that three polymorphic genes were identified to be able to potentially influence the bioaccumulation and toxicokinetics of lead in humans. These genes are delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase(ALAD) gene, vitamin D receptor (VDR) and hemochromatosis gene. Their relation to susceptibility to lead poisoning in humans was reviewed in this paper.
