Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Information on single nucleotide polymorphisms in the estrogen receptor beta (ERbeta) gene is lacking for the African American population. METHODS: In this study, we systematically screened the coding and flanking intron regions of the ERbeta gene in 49 healthy African American individuals. RESULTS: We detected four novel variants, of which one variant (963T-->C) resulted in amino acid change from...
