摘要: Background: Estrogen receptors (ER) belong to the super-family of nuclear hormone which act as ligand-regulated transcription factor control a diverse set essentials functions, such growth development, metabolism, and reproduction. Though, involvement these in several diseases including cancer was shown numerous studies.Aim: Here, we reviewed literature report genetic polymorphisms mutations investigated ESR genes (α β) explore their relationship potential role develop some well ER expression status especially cancer.Methods: We searched MEDLINE database with keywords estrogens gene polymorphisms, short tandem repeat (STR) sequences, single-nucleotide (SNPs), risk susceptibility.Results: The functional effects mutations, nucleotide STR on susceptibility multiple diseases, ...
