Low dose effect of chronic lead exposure on neuromotor response impairment in children is moderated by genetic polymorphisms [1]

Previous research on children of the Cincinnati Lead Program Project (CCLP) showed a strong correlation of blood lead level with postural balance impairment. Here we investigated whether this association is dependent on genetic polymorphisms that are implicated with lead metabolism and/or neuromotor disorders, suggesting the role of gene-environment interaction in neurotoxicity of lead exposure in early life of children.
