Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Given the association between iron deficiency and lead absorption, we hypothesized that variants in iron metabolism genes would predict higher blood lead levels in young children. OBJECTIVE: We examined the association between common missense variants in the hemochromatosis (HFE) and...
