Abstract excerpt
A limited number of studies have focused on androgens in women's health, particularly at the genetic level. We evaluated testosterone and estradiol (E2) levels among women in relation to 5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the aromatase (CYP 19) gene, the cytochrome P450 enzyme that converts androgens to estrogens. We related 5 aromatase SNPs (CYP 19 rs2414096, CYP 19 rs936306, CYP 19 rs2446405, CYP 19...
