Genome-wide association study of blood mercury in European pregnant women and children

2023-02-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Mercury (Hg) is a toxic heavy metal which humans are most commonly exposed to through food chain contamination, especially via fish consumption. Even low-level exposure can be harmful because of the poor clearance rate, particularly for methylmercury. It is likely that genetic variation modifies exposure through changes in the absorption, metabolism, and/or removal of mercury. Associations have...
