Ethnic distribution of estrogen receptor-alpha polymorphism is associated with a higher prevalence of uterine leiomyomas in black Americans.

Fertility and sterility - 1 Sept 2006

Al-Hendy Ayman, Salama Salama A

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether polymorphisms in the estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) gene are associated with an increased risk of uterine leiomyomas (ULMs). DESIGN: Genomic DNA was isolated from normal myometrium samples collected at the time of the hysterectomy. SETTING: Volunteers in an academic research environment. PATIENT(S): One hundred ninety-eight women with surgically confirmed ULMs and 229 matched...
