Abstract excerpt
To examine a possible influence of estrogen receptor variants on the genetic susceptibility to germ cell cancer we have analyzed the allelic frequencies of three polymorphisms within the estrogen receptor gene in testicular cancer (n = 454) and control populations (n = 672). There were no differences in allelic frequencies in cancer patients compared to controls. Subgroup analyses did not indicate differences in...
