Genetic Changes-Genetic Risk-Skin Lesions-Arsenic

Discovery Of Genetic Risk For Elevated Arsenic Toxicity

One of the first large-scale genomic studies conducted in a developing country has discovered genetic variants that elevate the risk for Skin Lesions in people chronically exposed to Arsenic. Genetic changes found near the enzyme for metabolizing the chemical into a less toxic form can significantly increase an individual's risk for developing arsenic-related disease... read more..
