Abstract excerpt

AIMS: The present study was designed to investigate the effects of estrogen receptor 2 gene (ESR2) rs1256049 polymorphism to carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT), as part of the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study. RESULTS: The frequencies of ESR2 genotypes G/G, G/A, and A/A were 85.1%, 14.3%, and 0.7%, respectively, in the whole study population (n = 2211). Compared with subjects with genotype GG,...
