Abstract excerpt

The goal of this study is to investigate if metallothionein (MT) gene polymorphism affects the susceptibility to lead as well as renal function parameters and blood pressures (BP) in workers exposed to lead for extended period of time. By means of real-time polymerase chain reaction, the MT4-216 A/G genotypes classified as rs396230 in the single nucleotide polymorphism database of the National Center for...
