Figure 1

Directed acyclic graph depicting potential pathways for iron metabolism genes to affect blood manganese levels. Genotype, G, may cause changes to iron levels, Fe, which subsequently affect blood manganese levels, Mn (pathway represented by solid arrows). Alternatively, genotype, G, may act on blood manganese levels, Mn, through another pathway, independent of iron levels (pathway represented by dashed arrow).
