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

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 risk of...
