Abstract excerpt
Human cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP19A1, commonly referred to as aromatase, plays a critical role in estrogen biosynthesis by catalyzing the conversion of C19 androgens into aromatic C18 estrogens. Alterations in aromatase activity have been implicated in the development and progression of estrogen-dependent diseases. Genetic mutations, including nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), can markedly...
