Abstract excerpt
Genetic differences among individuals shape how they respond to environmental toxicants, but the identification and validation of the genes responsible for this variation is difficult, particularly in humans. Consequently, our limited knowledge of the genes that influence susceptibility constrains our ability to accurately predict the risks posed by environmental toxicants. To identify genes underlying natural...
