The delta-aminolevulinate dehydratase polymorphism: higher blood lead levels in lead workers and environmentally exposed children with the 1-2 and 2-2 isozymes.

Environmental research - 1 Dec 1991

Wetmur J G, Lehnert G, Desnick R J

Abstract excerpt

The erythrocyte delta-aminolevulinate dehydratase (ALAD) isozyme phenotypes and the blood lead levels were determined in a population of 202 lead factory workers in Germany and an environmentally exposed population of 1278 children in New York who had elevated free protoporphyrin levels. In both population, individuals with the ALAD 1-2 or 2-2 isozyme phenotype had levels of blood lead statistically higher than...
