Susceptibility
  • endometrial cancer development (A6 and A7 allele over represented)
  • to bone mineral density variability in men
  • to breast cancer
  • Variant & Polymorphism SNP , insertion/deletion
  • associations for five SNPs with age at menarche in Caucasian females
  • common haplotype of aromatase associated with gene expression is also associated with the risk of osteoporotic vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women
  • polymorphism associated with femoral neck bone mineral density in men
  • 3-bp I/D polymorphisms of the CYP19A1 gene may be associated with breast cancer in Korean women (Kim 2009)
