Oxidative Stress-Related Genetic Variants May Modify Associations of Phthalate Exposures with Asthma

Oxidative Stress-Related Genetic Variants May Modify Associations of Phthalate Exposures with Asthma

Background: Phthalate exposure may increase the risk of asthma. Little is known about whether oxidative-stress related genes may alter this association. First, this motivated us to investigate whether genetic polymorphisms of the oxidative-stress related genes glutathione S-transferase Mu 1 (GSTM1),...
