Associations of Metabolic Genes (<i>GSTT1</i>, <i>GSTP1</i>, <i>GSTM1</i>) and Blood Mercury Concentrations Differ in Jamaican Children with and without Autism Spectrum Disorder

We investigated interactive roles of three metabolic glutathione S-transferase (GST) genes (<i>GSTP1</i>, <i>GSTT1</i>, and <i>GSTM1</i>) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) status in relation to blood Hg concentrations (BHC) of Jamaican children. We used data from...
