“…The clinical picture in these children was confirmed as similar to that reported in Japan (8)(9)(10)(12)(13)(14). Mercury levels in maternal hair growing during pregnancy were determined and, for the first time, assessment of associations between the level and timing of exposure and the children's disabilities was possible, thus providing a dose-response relationship (15).…”
