Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Epidemiologic data on genetic susceptibility to cardiovascular effects of arsenic exposure from drinking water are limited. OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether the association between well-water arsenic and cardiovascular disease (CVD) differed by 170 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 17 genes related to arsenic metabolism, oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction. METHOD: We...
