Abstract excerpt
Genetic factors play a significant role in influencing the variation of age at natural menopause (AANM). Estrogen receptor beta (ESR2), is an important factor in the mechanism of action of estrogen, while the aromatase gene (CYP19) and the 17-alpha-hydroxylase gene (CYP17) are involved in the biosynthesis of estrogen. We tested whether polymorphisms of ESR2, CYP19 and CYP17 genes are associated with AANM in...
