Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have suggested that polymorphisms in delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD), a heme synthetic enzyme, may be associated with differences in blood lead levels, perhaps due to differential binding of lead in erythrocytes. The authors examined associations of ALAD genotype wit...
