Particulate matter (PM) exposure leads to premature death, mainly due to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Identification of transcriptomic biomarkers of air pollution exposure and effect in a healthy adult population. Microarray analyses were performed in 98 healthy volunteers (48 men, 50 women). The expression of eight sex-specific candidate biomarker genes (significantly associated with PM Average long-term PM Expression of the sex-specific candidate genes identified in the discovery population predicted PM Show less
