A new model of the mechanism underlying lead poisoning: SNP in miRNA target region influence the AGT expression level

Abstract Background To determine if the rs7079 polymorphism located in the 3′ UTR of the angiotensinogen gene (AGT) altered AGT gene expression and the risk of lead poisoning. A case-control study and luciferase reporter gene assay identified a significant association between rs7079 variants and the...
