Abstract excerpt
The estradiol metabolites by CYP1B1 received particular attention because of their causative role in malignant transformation of endometrium. We hypothesize that polymorphisms of CYP1B1 gene can predict higher incidence of endometrial cancer. To test this hypothesis, the genetic distributions of six different CYP1B1 gene polymorphisms were investigated, by sequence-specific PCR and direct DNA sequencing, in 113...
