Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Consumption of arsenic-contaminated drinking water adversely affects health. There is interindividual variation in arsenic metabolism efficiency, partially due to genetic variation in the arsenic methyltransferase (AS3MT) gene region. OBJECTIVES: The goal of this study was to assess the overall contribution of genetic factors to variation in arsenic metabolism efficiency, as measured by the relative...
