Uncovering Evidence for Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals That Elicit Differential Susceptibility through Gene-Environment Interactions

[Review of ]. TOXICS, 9(4).

By: D. Wallis n, L. Truong*, J. La Du, R. Tanguay* & D. Reif n

author keywords: endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC); gene-environment interaction (GxE); differential susceptibility
TL;DR: It is proposed that EDCs causing such differential responses may be identified by looking for a signal of population variability after exposure, and called for further, deeper analysis of the EDCs, particularly the thyroid disruptors, to identify if these chemicals participate in GxE leading to differences in susceptibility.
