Genetics & Genomics
Studies from Harvard University yield new information about genetics & genomics
July 4th, 2008
According to a study from the United States, "Because of their high prevalence in the general population, genetic variants that determine susceptibility to environmental exposures may contribute greatly to the development of occupational diseases in the setting of specific exposures occurring in the workplace. Studies investigating genetic susceptibilities in the workplace may: ( 1) provide mechanistic insight into the aetiology of disease, in particular the determination of environmentally responsive genes; ( 2) identify susceptible subpopulations with respect to exposure; and ( 3) provide valuable input in setting occupational exposure limits by taking genetic susceptibility into...
