Localization and expression of the human estrogen receptor beta gene in uterine leiomyomata
1 Dec 1998
Abstract excerpt
Estrogens have an important function in the natural history of uterine leiomyomata. The human estrogen receptor beta gene (ESR2) has been identified recently and mapped to 14q22-24, a region frequently rearranged in uterine leiomyomata and other benign tumors, including pulmonary chondroid hamartomas and endometrial polyps. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization and radiation hybrid mapping, we map ESR2 within...
