ScienceDaily Nov. 27, 2013 — A team of researchers has brought new clarity to the picture of how gene-environmental interactions can kill nerve cells that make dopamine. Dopamine is the neurotransmitter that sends messages to the part of the brain that controls movement and coordination. Their discoveries, described in a paper published online today in Cell, include identification of a molecule that protects neurons from pesticide damage.

May be an idea to label produce on which pesticides have been used so those with a genetic predisposition, obtained by DNA testing, can avoid it.
