Residential exposure to radon and DNA methylation across the lifecourse: an exploratory study in the ALSPAC birth cohort

2019-04-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Radon (and its decay products) is a known human carcinogen and the leading cause of lung cancer in never-smokers and the second in ever-smokers. The carcinogenic mechanism from radiation is a combination of genetic and epigenetic processes, but compared to the genetic mechanisms, epigenetic processes remain understudied in humans. This study aimed to explore associations between residential r...
