The CYP19 Gene and Associations with Androgens and Abdominal Obesity in Premenopausal Women [PDF]
AbstractObjective: Elevated androgens in women are associated with type 2 diabetes and are dependent on the conversion to estrogens by aromatase cytochrome P450. Polymorphisms of a tetranucleotide repeat [TTTA]n in the fourth intron of the CYP19 gene are associated with endocrine‐dependent diseases and were examined in relation to hormone levels and ...

Associations between aromatase CYP19 rs10046 polymorphism and breast cancer risk: from a case-control to a meta-analysis of 20,098 subjects. [PDF]
Lifetime exposure to estrogen is a factor that plays an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of breast cancer. Genetic variants in genes of the biosynthesis and metabolism of estrogen have been associated with breast cancer risk. Among them,

Functional Genetic Polymorphisms in the Aromatase Gene CYP19 Vary the Response of Breast Cancer Patients to Neoadjuvant Therapy with Aromatase Inhibitors [PDF]
Aromatase (CYP19) is a critical enzyme in estrogen biosynthesis and aromatase inhibitors (AI) are employed widely for endocrine therapy in postmenopausal women with breast cancer.

A non-synonymous coding change in the CYP19A1 gene Arg264Cys (rs700519) does not affect circulating estradiol, bone structure or fracture [PDF]
Background The biosynthesis of estrogens from androgens is catalyzed by aromatase P450 enzyme, coded by the CYP19A1 gene on chromosome 15q21.2. Genetic variation within the CYP19A1 gene sequence has been shown to alter the function of the enzyme.

Potentially toxic elements impair male reproductive function through oxidative stress, DNA damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, endocrine disruption and epigenetic alterations. Antioxidants, phytochemicals, chelating agents and healthy lifestyle interventions may help mitigate testicular toxicity and preserve fertility.

The T/C polymorphism of the CYP17 gene and G/A polymorphism of the CYP19 gene in endometrial cancer. [PDF]
Endogenous estrogen exposure is an important determinant of endometrial cancer risk. The CYP17 and CYP19 genes encode 17 hydroxylase/17,20-lyase and aromatase, respectively, both involved in sex hormone synthesis. The gene CYP17 and CYP19 are polymorphic and gene variability could contribute to the level of protein biosynthesis. In the present work the
