Autism genes are selectively targeted by environmental pollutants including pesticides, heavy metals, bisphenol A, phthalates and many others in food, cosmetics or household products. [MEDLINE : 27984170] |
(2016) Autism genes are selectively targeted by environmental pollutants including pesticides, heavy metals, bisphenol A, phthalates and many others in food, cosmetics or household products. Neurochemistry international;Neurochem. Int.;2016 Oct;: - Autism polymorphisms influence the sensitivity to some of these chemicals and these same genes play an important role in barrier function and control of respiratory cilia sweeping particulate matter from the airways. - Further epidemiological studies and neurodevelopmental and behavioural research is warranted to determine the relevance of large number of suspect candidates whose addition to the environment, household, food and cosmetics might be fuelling the autism epidemic in a gene-dependent manner. - Gene/environment interactions in autism were analysed using 206 autism susceptibility genes (ASG 's) from the Autworks database to interrogate ∼1 million chemical/gene interactions in the comparative toxicogenomics database. - Autism genes are selectively targeted by environmental pollutants including pesticides, heavy metals, bisphenol A, phthalates and many others in food, cosmetics or household products. - The increasing incidence of autism suggests a major environmental influence. |
