Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have suggested that several genes that mediate mercury metabolism are polymorphic in humans. OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in metallothionein (MT) genes may underlie interindividual differences in mercury biomarker levels. We studied the potential modifying effects of MT SNPs on mercury exposure-biomarker relationships. METHODS: We measured total...
