Abstract excerpt
The CYP19 gene encodes for aromatase (P450arom), a key steroidogenic enzyme that catalyzes the final step of estrogen biosynthesis. Apart from rare mutations in CYP19 which result in severe phenotypes associated with estrogen insufficiency, little is known about whether common variation in CYP19 is associated with risk of hormone-related diseases. In this study, we employed a haplotype-based approach to search...
