Genetic Polymorphisms Influencing Arsenic Metabolism in Human: Evidence from Vietnam
We report the association of levels of urinary arsenic (As) compounds (arsenite (AsIII), arsenate (AsV), monomethylarsonic acid (MMAV), dimethylarsinic acid (DMAV), and arsenobetaine (AB)) with genetic polymorphisms of candidate genes, glutathione S-transferase omega 1 (GSTO1) and 2 (GSTO2), mu 1 (GSTM1), and theta 1 (GSTT1), arsenic (+3 oxidation state) methyltransferase (AS3MT), methylenetetr...
متن کاملPolymorphisms in Arsenic(+III Oxidation State) Methyltransferase (AS3MT) Predict Gene Expression of AS3MT as Well as Arsenic Metabolism
BACKGROUND Arsenic (As) occurs as monomethylarsonic acid (MMA) and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) in humans, and the methylation pattern demonstrates large interindividual differences. The fraction of urinary MMA is a marker for susceptibility to As-related diseases. OBJECTIVES We evaluated the impact of polymorphisms in five methyltransferase genes on As metabolism in two populations, one in Sou...
متن کاملGenetic Polymorphism Influencing Arsenic Metabolism in Human
Groundwater pollution by arsenic is a serious worldwide problem, especially in developing Asian and African countries. Large inter-individual variation in the arsenic metabolism has been reported. Human arsenic (+3 oxidation state) methyltransferase (AS3MT) is known to catalyze the methylation of arsenite. The M287T polymorphism in AS3MT is considered to be related to inter-individual variation...
متن کاملIndividual Variations in Inorganic Arsenic Metabolism Associated with AS3MT Genetic Polymorphisms
Individual variations in inorganic arsenic metabolism may influence the toxic effects. Arsenic (+3 oxidation state) methyltransferase (AS3MT) that can catalyze the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-l-methionine (AdoMet) to trivalent arsenical, may play a role in arsenic metabolism in humans. Since the genetic polymorphisms of AS3MT gene may be associated with the susceptibility to inor...
متن کاملGenetic Polymorphisms Influencing Arsenic Metabolism: Evidence from Argentina
The susceptibility to arsenic-induced diseases differs greatly between individuals, possibly due to interindividual variations in As metabolism that affect retention and distribution of toxic metabolites. To elucidate the role of genetic factors in As metabolism, we studied how polymorphisms in six genes affected the urinary metabolite pattern in a group of indigenous women (n = 147) in norther...
