Abstract excerpt
Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) is the most abundant circulating steroid hormone in humans, and has important physiological effects. A relationship has been suggested between variations of DHEA-S concentration and polymorphisms in the gene encoding sulfotransferase (SULT2A1), an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of DHEA-S from DHEA. We have investigated the relationship between the single nucleotide...
