Association of CYP19 Gene Polymorphism with Vertebral Fractures in Japanese Postmenopausal Women

Abstract: This study investigates aromatase gene polymorphism, which might influence bone strength in terms of mineral density and quality. We explored the relationship between CYP19 polymorphisms and vertebral fractures in postmenopausal Japanese women. In addition, we compared estrogen and testosterone levels in Japanese postmenopausal women with and without fractures. Osteoporotic postmenopausal women showed higher incidences of vertebral fractures than osteopenic women or women with normal lumbar bone mineral densit… Show more

“…27,35 Importantly, the rs2470152 locus itself is a potential binding site for a transcription protein cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element (CRE). 36,37 In our study, T-risk-allele carriers had lower CSF E2/T ratios and worse GOS-6 scores. Importantly, the T allele was linked with higher testosterone in both serum and CSF.…”

“…Aromatase is encoded by the CYP19 gene, and genetic variations in the CYP19 gene result in alterations of circulating levels of sex hormones [ 91 93 ]. Ma et al suggests that genetic variations in CYP19 might contribute to variations in the pathophysiology of E2-dependent diseases [ 94 ].…”
