Exposure to particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) may result in DNA damage. Histone variant H2AX phosphorylation plays a central role in the response to damaged chromatin. In the current study, we investigated whether H2AX gene polymorphisms account for PM2.5-modulated DNA damage levels. A total of 307 healthy urban residents were collected from three cities in southern, central, and northern China, Zhuhai, Wuhan, and...
