Relationship between susceptibility to neurodegenerative diseases and genetic factors in populations exposed to mercury in Medellín, Colombia

Biomedica : revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud - 2 Mar 2026

Avendaño Efrén de Jesús, Castillo Andrea Paola

Abstract excerpt

Introduction: Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s are associated with genetic and environmental factors, including exposure to mercury, a heavy metal with neurotoxic effects. Objectives: To identify and analyze alleles and genes linked to neurodegenerative diseases in relation to mercury exposure in Colombia. Materials and methods: Scientific literature and population genotype data from...
