Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The development of endometrial cancer is known to be affected by estrogens. Thus, genetic variations like single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes involved in estrogen biosynthesis, metabolism, and signal transduction might affect risk for endometrial cancer. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that polymorphisms in the promoter of ESR2 gene may be associated with susceptibility to this...
