Butyrylcholinesterase variants (BCHE and CHE2 Loci) associated with erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase inhibition in farmers exposed to pesticides.

Human heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Fontoura-da-Silva S E, Chautard-Freire-Maia E A

Abstract excerpt

Farmers exposed to pesticides and classified as mildly poisoned and controls on the basis of erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity were examined for butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) genetic variability. The mildly poisoned group showed a significantly higher frequency of non-usual phenotypes (13.1%) than the control group (1.7%). These phenotypes showed a relative risk (RR) of 8.8 of erythrocyte AChE...
