ESR1 and ESR2 genotypes and the age at menarche in idiopathic scoliosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Environmental and genetic factors have influence on the age at menarche (AAM). Disturbance of the AAM in patients with idiopathic scoliosis (IS) were postulated [1]. Estrogen receptor genes 1 and 2 (ESR1, ESR2) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in IS were suggested to have some association with predisposition to IS [2]. ESR SNPs were reported to have association with AAM in healthily females [3].

Estrogen receptors 1 and 2 genotypes and age at menarche in idiopathic scoliosis
Objectives The age at menarche (AAM) is commonly in use in patients with IS as one of the maturity indicator suggesting deceleration of the growth velocity. The AAM was suggested to be related to predisposition and curve progression potential of IS. The late age at menarche was reported to be associated with higher prevalence of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The age at menarche is determined...

BACKGROUND Age at menarche is considered a reliable prognostic factor for idiopathic scoliosis and varies in different geographic latitudes. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis prevalence has also been reported to be different in various latitudes and demonstrates higher values in northern countries. A study on epidemiological reports from the literature was conducted to investigate a possible asso...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to detect and assess the estrogen receptor (ESR) coactivator PELP1 expression within human paraspinal skeletal muscles in patients suffering from idiopathic scoliosis. METHODS During surgical correction of scoliosis the muscle biopsies harvested in 29 females. Presence of PELP1, ESR1 and ESR2 genes transcripts was studied using RT-qPCR technique while immunoh...
متن کاملAge-specific effects of estrogen receptors' polymorphisms on the bone traits in healthy fertile women: the BONTURNO study
BACKGROUND Skeletal characteristics such as height (Ht), bone mineral density (BMD) or bone turnover markers are strongly inherited. Common variants in the genes encoding for estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1) and beta (ESR2) are proposed as candidates for influencing bone phenotypes at the population level. METHODS We studied 641 healthy premenopausal women aged 20-50 years (yrs) participating i...
