Association between hemochromatosis genotype and lead exposure among elderly men: the normative aging study.
(2004)
Because body iron burden is inversely associated with lead absorption, genes associated with hemochromatosis may modify body lead burden. Our objective was to determine whether the C282Y and/or H63D hemochromatosis gene ...
Iron Metabolism Genes, Low-Level Lead Exposure, and QT Interval
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2008)
Background: Cumulative exposure to lead has been shown to be associated with depression of electrocardiographic conduction, such as QT interval (time from start of the Q wave to end of the T wave). Because iron can enhance ...
Variants in iron metabolism genes predict higher blood lead levels in young children
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2008)
Background: Given the association between iron deficiency and lead absorption, we hypothesized that variants in iron metabolism genes would predict higher blood lead levels in young children. Objective: We examined the ...
