Both human and primate studies demonstrate deleterious effects of methylmercury on the developing embryo/fetus.
These processes can have both beneficial effects, creating ecologically attractive conditions for human settlement, and deleterious or disruptive ones, creating barriers to movement, disruption of ecological conditions, or hazards to survival.
Today's scientists have come to a similarly dichotomous recognition that exposure to the ultraviolet radiation (UVR) in sunlight has both beneficial and deleterious effects on human health.
Decision theory aims to decrease the frequency of false positive decisions (i.e. application of a pesticide for disease control when not economically warranted) and reduce the negative environmental impacts of pesticides which often pose a significant risk of off-target effects and deleterious human health consequences.
MSV3d classifies these variants in two categories: mutations linked to known human diseases (deleterious) and those associated with the "polymorphism" term (neutral), in accordance with the nomenclature used in the UniProtKB database.
AgNPs could induce multiple unpredictable and deleterious effects on human health and the environment due to their increasing use.
During mutagenesis studies in human SIFT can differentiate functionally neutral and deleterious polymorphisms [ 45].
And there's also been a heady, if somewhat contradictory, brew of studies purporting to demonstrate caffeine's beneficial and deleterious effects on humans.
Links have been established between these bioaccumulating, ubiquitous compounds and deleterious health effects in humans.
The trichohyalin-like 2 (TCHHL2) genes of whales and humans contain deleterious mutations.
As such, TLR2 knockout mice and humans with deleterious TLR2 polymorphisms are more susceptible to multiple pathogens [ 22- 26].
