IMPORTANCE: The reported phenotypes of men with 47,XXY and 47,XYY syndromes include tall stature, multisystem comorbidities, and poor health-related quality of life (HRQOL). However, knowledge about these sex chromosome aneuploidy (SCA) conditions has been derived from studies in the less than 15% of patients who are clinically diagnosed and also lack diversity in age and genetic ancestry.

OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence of clinically diagnosed and undiagnosed X or Y chromosome aneuploidy among men enrolled in the Million Veteran Program (MVP); to describe military service metrics of men with SCAs; and to compare morbidity and mortality outcomes between men with …


Factors Associated With Blood Mercury Concentrations And Their Interactions With Three Glutathione S-Transferase Genes (Gstt1, Gstm1, And Gstp1): An Exposure Assessment Study Of Typically Developing Jamaican Children, Sheikh Farzana Zaman, Maureen Samms-Vaughan, Sepideh Saroukhani, Jan Bressler, Manouchehr Hessabi, Megan L Grove, Sydonnie Shakespeare Pellington, Katherine A Loveland, Mohammad H Rahbar Jan 2024

Factors Associated With Blood Mercury Concentrations And Their Interactions With Three Glutathione S-Transferase Genes (Gstt1, Gstm1, And Gstp1): An Exposure Assessment Study Of Typically Developing Jamaican Children, Sheikh Farzana Zaman, Maureen Samms-Vaughan, Sepideh Saroukhani, Jan Bressler, Manouchehr Hessabi, Megan L Grove, Sydonnie Shakespeare Pellington, Katherine A Loveland, Mohammad H Rahbar

Journal Articles

BACKGROUND: Jamaican soil is abundant in heavy metals including mercury (Hg). Due to availability and ease of access, fish is a traditional dietary component in Jamaica and a significant source of Hg exposure. Mercury is a xenobiotic and known neuro-toxicant that affects children's neurodevelopment. Human glutathione S-transferase (GST) genes, including GSTT1, GSTM1, and GSTP1, affect Hg conjugation and elimination mechanisms.

METHODS: In this exposure assessment study we used data from 375 typically developing (TD) 2-8-year-old Jamaican children to explore the association between environmental Hg exposure, GST genes, and their interaction effects on blood Hg concentrations (BHgCs). We used multivariable general …
