Abstract excerpt
The human aromatase protein encoded by CYP19A1 gene is the principle enzyme involved in the biogenesis of oestrogen in adipose tissues. An excessive exposure to endogenous oestrogen is regarded as an important determinant in the risk of breast cancer. Thus, in the present study we have used multiple computational methods to identify the most deleterious nonsynonymous SNPs in CYP19A1 gene that caused probable...
