Abstract excerpt
The relative expression levels of estrogen receptor α (ERα) and mitochondrial cytochrome b (MTCYB) transcripts and their association with ERα, -397T > C gene polymorphism was determined in premenopausal uterine leiomyomas and myometrium tissues to gain an insight into the role of ER-mediated action of estrogen on mitochondrial gene transcription. Both ERα and MTCYB transcripts were overexpressed in leiomyomas...
