DNA methylation of the cancer-related genes F2RL3 and AHRR is associated with occupational exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
This study showed that chimney sweeps and creosote workers had lower DNA methylation of F2RL3 and AHRR, which is a risk factor for lung cancer. PAH exposure from soot and creosote oil likely play a role in this epigenetic modification.
