Prospective cohort study reveals prenatal PAH exposure affects child growth, influenced by maternal genetics.
for interaction is 0.049). We provide evidence that prenatal PAHs exposure may alter early childhood growth patterns, with effects modified by maternal genetic susceptibility. If confirmed, these findings highlight the mechanistic importance of AHR signaling in environmental developmental toxicity and underscore the need for exposure reduction and targeted maternal monitoring.
