Abstract excerpt
Mineral elements (copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe)) play important biological roles in enzymes, hormones, vitamins, and normal metabolism. The deficiency of mineral elements can lead to abnormal physiological functions. And some elements (such as lead (Pb)) are harmful to the body. We aim to identify genetic loci which can influence the serum levels of mineral elements (Cu, Zn, Ca,...
