Purpose: The objective of this study was to elucidate the relationship between two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs7176005 and rs6493497 in CYP19 gene and the risk of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in Northern Chinese women.
Methods: In this case-control study, a total of 340 women with PCOS and 340 matched healthy controls were recruited. Polymerase chain reaction ligase detection reaction (PCR-LDR) method was used to investigate two SNPs (rs7176005 and rs6493497) in the 5'-flanking region of CYP19 gene exon 1.
Results: We observed a significant association of rs7176005 and rs6493497 with reduced risk of PCOS. Compared with CC genotype, a significant association of CT genotype (p = 0.019), TT genotype (p < 0.001) and combined CT + TT genotype (p < 0.001) with reduced risk of PCOS was observed. The result of linkage disequilibrium analysis showed that these two SNPs are in complete linkage disequilibrium (r = 1). For rs7176005 SNP, compared with CC genotype, CT, TT and CT + TT genotypes reduced the risk of PCOS. The age, BMI-adjusted OR were 0.650 (95% CI = 0.460-0.917), 0.158 (95% CI = 0.066-0.376) and 0.545(95% CI = 0.391-0.759), respectively.
Conclusions: These findings highlight a significant association between CYP19 gene polymorphisms and PCOS susceptibility, implying potential protective effects of T and A alleles. Of course, the major limitation of this study is the sample size of the case-control study. Larger cohort studies are needed to confirm these findings and investigate the underlying causes.

Background: It has been suggested that the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the CYP19A1 gene encoding aromatase may affect the development of female pattern hair loss (FPHL).
Objective: Our aim was to investigate the association of CYP19A1 gene SNPs with FPHL in a Chinese population.
Methods: Two hundred Chinese Han patients with FPHL and 200 controls were enrolled into our study.

Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are anti-neoplastic drugs widely used for the treatment of endocrine responsive breast carcinoma in postmenopausal women. Drug disposition, efficacy and tolerability of these agents are influenced by germ-line polymorphisms in the sequence of the genes encoding CYP19A1 and TCL1A proteins. In the current work, we aimed to determine the haplotype structures, linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns, and allele and genotype frequency distribution of pharmacologically important variants from two genes (CYP19A1 and TCL1A) in Tamil population and assessed their ethnic differences.

CYP19A1 gene product aromatase (CYP19A1) is a 58-kDa protein and belongs to the member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily, which facilitates the bioconversion of estrogens from androgens. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CYP19A1 affect the activity of the enzyme and have been implicated in the association of estrogen-dependent disease, prognosis, therapeutic efficacy, and toxicity of third-generation aromatase inhibitors (AIs). Based on ethnicity, the frequency distribution of CYP19A1 alleles will differ, and until now, no data are available for Indians.

Aromatase inhibitors (AIs), such as anastrozole, are established in the treatment of hormone-dependent breast cancer. However, ∼20% of patients with hormone receptor-positive breast tumors treated with anastrozole do not respond and it remains impossible to accurately predict sensitivity. Since polymorphisms in the aromatase gene may influence the response to inhibitory drugs, we evaluated the presence of rs6493497 and rs7176005 polymorphisms (mapping in the 5'-flanking region of the CYP19A1 gene coding for the aromatase protein) in a cohort of 37 patients with postmenopausal breast cancer who received three-month neoadjuvant treatment with anastrozole.
