Abstract excerpt
Estrogen replacement therapy is associated with a reduced risk of colon cancer. Therefore, we evaluated the following ten estrogen metabolism-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) by sequencing-on-chip technology using solid-phase polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on oligonucleotide microarrays: catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) Val158Met G-->A, 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (HSD17) vlV...
