KEYWORDS
ABSTRACT
Health effects of exposure to xenobiotics, e.g. lead, differ between individuals. They are mainly influenced by xenobiotics’ concentration, however genetic polymorphisms may play a role in the interindividual variation. There is a number of reports indicating the influence of polymorphisms in the genes of δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD), the vitamin D receptor (VDR), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) on blood lead concentration in lead-exposed workers and environmentally exposed children.
