Factors influencing placental transfer rate of these toxins are poorly investigated. Whether prenatal exposure to pollutants has an effect on birth weight is incompletely understood. We therefore aimed (1) to determine placental transfer rates of PFAS, BPA, Pb, THg, and MeHg, (2) to analyze relationships between fetal exposure and birth outcome and (3) to analyze gene variants as mediators of placental transfer rates and birth outcome. Two hundred healthy pregnant women and their newborns participated in the study. BPA, 16 PFAS, THg, MeHg, and Pb were determined using HPLCMS\/MS (BPA, PFAS), HPLC-CV-ICPMS (MeHg), CV-AFS (THg), and GF-AAS (Pb). Questionnaires and medical records were used to survey exposure sources and birth outcome. 20 single nucleotide polymorphisms and two deletion polymorphisms were determined by real-time PCR from both maternal and newborn blood. Genotype-phenotype associations were analyzed by categorical regression and logistic regression analysis. Specific gene variants were associated with altered placental transfer of PFAS (\n                    <jats:italic>ALAD<\/jats:italic>\n                    Lys59Asn,\n                    <jats:italic>ABCG2<\/jats:italic>\n                    Gln141Lys), THg (\n                    <jats:italic>UGT<\/jats:italic>\n                    Tyr85Asp,\n                    <jats:italic>GSTT1<\/jats:italic>\n                    del,\n                    <jats:italic>ABCC1<\/jats:italic>\n                    rs246221) and Pb (\n                    <jats:italic>GSTP1<\/jats:italic>\n                    Ala114Val).
