Background: Methylmercury (MeHg) is a known neuro-toxicant. Emerging evidence indicates
it may have adverse effects on the neuro-logic and other body systems at common low …

Seafood, including finfish, shellfish, and seaweed, is the largest contributor to arsenic (As)
exposure in many human populations. In contrast to the predominance of inorganic As in …

Although much is known about hip fracture epidemiology, there are relatively little data
regarding fractures at other peripheral sites. Epidemiological differences between fractures are …

Epigenetic control of gene transcription is critical for normal human development and cellular
differentiation. While alterations of epigenetic marks such as DNA methylation have been …

We conducted a multi-stage, genome-wide association study of bladder cancer with a
primary scan of 591,637 SNPs in 3,532 affected individuals (cases) and 5,120 controls of …

Objective. —The primary aims of this study were to assess risk of subsequent basal and
squamous cell skin cancer among patients with a prior history of these tumors and to examine …

We conducted a study to estimate the current incidence rates of basal‐cell carcinoma (BCC)
and squamous‐cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin in the population of New Hampshire (NH), …

Emerging data indicate that rice consumption may lead to potentially harmful arsenic exposure.
However, few human data are available, and virtually none exist for vulnerable periods …

Background Although much is known about molecular and chromosomal characteristics
that distinguish glioma histological subtypes, DNA methylation patterns of gliomas and their …

In a follow-up to our previously reported genome-wide association study of cutaneous basal
cell carcinoma (BCC) 1 , we describe here several new susceptibility variants. SNP …
