Association Study Between Metallothionein-3 Protein Polymorphisms and Autism.

Neurotoxicity research - 1 Jul 2018

Yu MingXia, Cao Tao, Yu Dan, Huang Fusheng

Abstract excerpt

Genetic susceptibility to high mercury body burden has been suggested as an autism risk factor in children. Metallothionein III (MT3) is the brain-specific form of the metallothionein family, which plays a key role in metal metabolism. We therefore looked for genetic variations in the MT3 gene that might increase the predisposition to autism. DNA was extracted from 132 autistic children and 132 age and...
