Abstract
A gene for a second type of human estrogen receptor, the estrogen receptor beta (ESR beta), was recently identified. We isolated a polymorphic dinucleotide CA repeat marker from a genomic clone containing the human estrogen receptor beta gene. High heterozygosity (0.93) makes this polymorphism a useful marker in the genetic study of disorders affecting female endocrine systems; calcium metabolism; and breast, uterine, and ovarian cancers.Entities:
