Exposure to organophosphate pesticides (OPPs) has been linked to adverse birth outcomes, including low birthweight. Maternal biomarkers are commonly used as proxies for fetal exposure, but fetal exposure also depends on placental transport mechanisms. In 240 mother-newborn pairs, we explored how genetic variation in membrane transporters influences the association between maternal OPP concentrations and...
