Abstract excerpt
It is plausible that polymorphisms in the estrogen receptor alpha and beta genes (ESR1 and ESR2) may modulate the association between enterolactone and breast cancer. Seven polymorphisms in ESR1 (rs827422, rs1709184, rs2347867, rs3020328, rs72207, , and ) and 5 polymorphisms in ESR2 (, , , , and ) were selected. The risk of breast cancer for these...
