Abstract excerpt
Genetic susceptibility factors may play a role in determining adverse effects of exposure to environmental toxins. As a preliminary step to a molecular epidemiological study in a population exposed to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-para-dioxin (TCDD), we investigated 20 healthy Caucasian volunteers with a set of putative susceptibility markers including a CYP1A1 Msp I restriction fragment length genetic polymorphism...
