Polymorphisms of the estrogen-metabolizing genes CYP17 and catechol-O-methyltransferase and risk of epithelial ovarian cancer.

Cancer research - 1 Jun 2002

Abstract excerpt

Because some studies have linked polymorphic variants of the estrogen-metabolizing genes CYP17 and catechol O-methyl transferase (COMT) with risk for hormonally related cancers, we sought to determine whether selected polymorphisms of these genes differed between women with and without ovarian cancer. From a population-based study of ovarian cancer, we analyzed DNA from a total of 480 cases and controls. PCR...
