  • Title: [Genetic markers of occupational susceptibility to fluorosis].
    Author: Danilov IP, Protasov VV, Lotosh EA, Luzina FA.
    Journal: Med Tr Prom Ekol; 2001; (7):30-3. PubMed ID: 11530516.
    Abstract:
    To determine markers showing propensity to occupational fluorosis, the authors studied prevalence of ABO, Rh, MN, ABH and Lewis phenotypes, systemic rhesus haplotypes in 229 workers engaged into aluminum production. Propensity to occupational fluorosis was marked by P (+), O (ABO) phenotypes. P (-) phenotype appeared to be a marker of resistance to fluorides exposure. The results obtained could be useful to forecast probability of fluorosis and to better this disease prevention.
