Aim: There is a significant link between the increased activity of estrogen and its metabolites in endometrial carcinogenesis. Polymorphisms of the gene involved in metabolism of estrogen can modulate risk for the development of endometrial cancer. CYP1B1 plays an important role in estrogen metabolism. In our study, the frequency of three CYP1B1 gene polymorphisms (4326 C> G, 4390 A> G and 355 G> T) were studied in obese and non-obese women with endometrio...
