Background: Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are environmental contaminants present in a wide range of consumer products and frequently detected in drinking water. They have been linked to adverse reproductive health outcomes in women, but there is limited human evidence on the association of PFAS exposure with endometriosis.
Objective/aim: To explore the association between plasma concentrations of several PFAS, considered individually and as a mixture, and the risk of endometriosis in women of childbearing age.
Article Synopsis
- - Clinical exome sequencing helps tackle the diverse range of clinical and genetic variations seen in mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS).
- - The information gained from this sequencing can assist in prenatal diagnosis for MPS VII, a specific type of MPS.
- - It also supports genetic counseling and preimplantation genetic testing for families affected by MPS.

Benzophenones and parabens are synthetic chemicals used in many personal care products, foods and pharmaceuticals. Benzophenones are used to protect the skin and materials from the adverse effects of UV-radiation, and parabens are used as preservatives. Despite their widespread occurrence and proven endocrine disrupting activity, relatively little is known about human exposure to these compounds.
