Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The high prevalence of painful temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) in women suggests that estrogen and its receptors play a fundamental etiologic role in the development of this joint pathology through complex action mechanisms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible association between polymorphisms in the ESR1 (estrogen receptor-1) and ESRRB (estrogen-related receptor-β) genes and the risk...
