Mutation pattern of Cancer suppressor p53 gene in factory workers exposed to Polypropylene and impact on their reproductive hormones.

These findings predict decreased fertility and risk of malignancies in the future. The spectrum of p53 mutations due to polypropylene exposure in the Pakistani population has not been investigated before. Further studies and meta-analyses are required to elucidate the role of different plasticizers in reproduction and cancer-causing risk factors in a larger population.
