Objective: To investigate whether there is a association between estrogen receptor beta (ERb) gene polymorphism and primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: 100 primary HCC patients and 100 controls from southwestern China were recruited in this study. The polymorphism of RsaI and AluI in ERb gene was analyzed by PCR- restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP).
Results: R allelic frequency was 35.0% and 51.0% in HCC patients and in control group, respectively, odds ratio (OR) was 0.517 [95% confidence intervals (CI) = 0.346-0.773], P less than 0.01. A allelic frequency was 20.5% and 11.0% in HCC patients and in control group, respectively, OR was 2.086 (95% CI = 1.191-3.654), P less than 0.01. Gene frequency of RsaI and AluI in the two groups was distributed with polymorphism.
Conclusion: ERb gene polymorphism is associated with primary liver cancer. R allele may be the guard factor, and A allele may be its risk factor.

Objective This study aimed to investigate follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) polymorphisms (Thr307Ala and Asn680Ser), estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) polymorphisms (PvuII and XbaI), and ESR2 polymorphisms (RsaI and AluI) in Turkish women with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) discordance. Method Genotyping was performed in 60 patients aged 21-35 with FSH-AMH discordance and/or low ovarian reserve and 20 age-matched controls with normal FSH and AMH levels. The patients were investigated in four groups of 20 women according to their FSH and AMH levels.

Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) and severe secretory oligozoospermia (SOL) are the most severe and complex conditions impacting male fertility. This meta-analysis aimed to study the association between PvuII ( rs2234693, 397T>C ), XbaI ( rs9340799, 351G>A ), AluI (1730G>A, rs4986938), and RsaI (1082G>A, rs1256049) polymorphisms and spermatogenic failure.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on milk production traits in Kilis dairy goats by analyzing the genotypes of , , , , and genes and their association with lactation milk yield (LMY), lactation length (LL) and average daily milk yield (ADMY). Blood samples were collected from 227 goats, and genotyping was performed using polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The results revealed that the frequencies of the genotypes varied among the genes.

Background: Gene polymorphisms of estrogen receptor (ESR) 1 PvuII (rs2234693), XbaI (rs9340799), G2014A (rs2228480), ESR2 AluI (rs4986938), and RsaI (rs1256049) had been reported to be associated with the risk of osteoporosis. However, these conclusions were inconsistent, therefore, an updated meta-analysis was conducted to further explore these issues.
Objective: To evaluate the association between gene polymorphisms of ESR1 PvuII (rs2234693), XbaI (rs9340799), G2014A (rs2228480), ESR2 AluI (rs4986938), RsaI (rs1256049), and osteoporosis risk.
