Childhood physical abnormalities following paternal exposure to sulfur mustard gas in Iran: a case-control study

BACKGROUND Mustard gas, a known chemical weapon, was used during the Iran-Iraq war of 1980-1988. We aimed to determine if exposure to mustard gas among men was significantly associated with abnormalities and disorders among progenies. METHODS Using a case-control design, we identified all progenies of Sardasht men (exposed group, n = 498), who were born at least nine months after the exposure...

Paternal occupational lead exposure and congenital malformations.

STUDY OBJECTIVE The aim was to investigate whether occupational exposure to lead in fathers is associated with congenital malformation in their children. DESIGN The study was a retrospective case-control study, nested within the wives of men biologically monitored for inorganic lead. Information on pregnancy outcome was obtained from medical registers. SUBJECTS Cases were defined as wives w...

Paternal exposure to mercury and spontaneous abortions.

The potential reproductive toxicity of mercury vapour was investigated by comparing the rate of spontaneous abortions among the wives of 152 workers occupationally exposed to mercury vapour with the rate among the wives of 374 controls in the same plant. The results indicate an increase in the rate of spontaneous abortions with an increasing concentration of mercury in the fathers' urine before...

Paternal alcohol exposure and Turner syndrome.

AIMS Turner syndrome (TS) is a sex chromosome aneuploidy that occurs as a result of a non-disjunctional error in meiosis I or anaphase lag; however, the aetiology of this disorder remains unknown. Anecdotal evidence suggests that paternal alcoholism may play an unidentified role in the aetiology of TS. Accordingly, the primary objective of this study was to determine the potential association b...
