Humans are exposed to a diverse mixture of chemical and non-chemical exposures across
their lifetimes. Well-designed epidemiology studies as well as sophisticated exposure …

Background Estimating the health effects of multi-pollutant mixtures is of increasing interest
in environmental epidemiology. Recently, a new approach for estimating the health effects of …

A growing body of literature suggests that developmental exposure to individual or mixtures
of environmental chemicals (ECs) is associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) …

Gene–environment interactions have important implications for elucidating the genetic basis
of complex diseases beyond the joint function of multiple genetic factors and their …

Background: Reduced fetal growth increases the risk for adverse health outcomes. Growing
evidence suggests that metal exposures contribute to reduced fetal growth, but little is …

Background Exposure to heavy metals may increase risk of kidney disease, but most studies
have examined individual metals or two-way interactions. There is increasing recognition of …

Background Evidence suggests organophosphate esters (OPEs) are neurotoxic; however,
the epidemiological literature remains scarce. We investigated whether prenatal exposures …

We introduce the spike-and-slab group lasso (SSGL) for Bayesian estimation and variable
selection in linear regression with grouped variables. We further extend the SSGL to sparse …

Background Prenatal exposures to neurotoxic metals and trace elements are associated
with early childhood neurodevelopmental outcomes. However, consequences of …

Background Fetal growth is predictive of health later in life. Both toxic and essential metals
influence fetal growth, but most studies have focused on these elements individually and …
