Abstract excerpt
In this study, we identified five novel polymorphisms in the estrogen receptor beta (ERbeta) gene in an African population. Interestingly, two of these variants are expected to change the amino acid sequence of the ERbeta protein. These changes correspond to an isoleucine to valine substitution at amino acid position 3 (I3V) and a valine to glycine substitution at position 320 (V320G), respectively. The...
