title: Contribution of genetic variations in estradiol biosynthesis and metabolism enzymes to osteoporosis.
abstract: The occurrence of osteoporosis is closely related to serum estradiol level. CYP19 is the most important biosynthesis enzyme and CYP1A2, CYP3A4, and 17 beta-HSD are important metabolism enzymes. Any changes in these enzymes activity affects estradiol biosynthesis or metabolism, and changes the estradiol serum level. By reviewing the recent literature, it was found that the genetic variations of CYP19, CYP1A2, CYP3A4, and 17 beta-HSD are important factors affecting the estradiol serum level, and may be closely related to the development of osteoporosis.
