Description:
Objective:A molecular genetic research project, closely related to the first three studies, seeks to elucidate the biological mechanisms for individual variation in susceptibility to pesticides. The study will evaluate genotypic and phenotypic heterogeneity in the enzymes that activate and detoxify the oxons of chlorpyrifos and other cholinesterase inhibiting organophosphate pesticides. It will be undertaken using biological samples obtained from the ethnically diverse population of mothers and infants enrolled in the prospective cohort study.
