Association between genome-wide copy number variation and arsenic-induced skin lesions: a prospective study

Abstract Background Exposure to arsenic in drinking water is a global health problem and arsenic-induced skin lesions are hallmark of chronic arsenic toxicity. We and others have reported germline genetic variations as risk factors for such skin lesions. The role of copy number variation (CNV) in th...
