What role does genetics play in susceptibility to developmental toxicants?


Genetic factors can influence an individual's susceptibility to developmental toxicants. Variations in genes involved in metabolism, detoxification, and DNA repair can determine how a person's body responds to toxicants. For example, polymorphisms in genes related to detoxification enzymes can affect the ability to metabolize and eliminate harmful substances, thereby modulating the risk of developmental effects.
