Identification of pelvic organ prolapse risk susceptibility gene SNP locus in Xinjiang women
AssociationN=196Aibibuhan· Abulaizi et al.(2020)· International Urogynecology Journal

Candidate gene association study in Xinjiang women identifying pelvic organ prolapse (POP) susceptibility loci. Among 88 POP cases and 108 controls, ESR1 rs17847075 (OR=2.738, P=0.041) and rs2234693 (OR=2.99, P=0.024), ZFAT rs1036819 (OR=10.286, P=0.036), and protective FBLN5 rs12589592 (OR=0.111, P=0.029) showed significant associations with POP risk.

Common germline polymorphisms in COMT, CYP19A1, ESR1, PGR, SULT1E1 and STS and survival after a diagnosis of breast cancer
AssociationN=4,470Miriam S. Udler et al.(2009)· International Journal of Cancer

This population-based study of 4,470 breast cancer cases from the SEARCH cohort examined associations between germline polymorphisms in 6 steroid hormone metabolism genes (COMT, CYP19A1, ESR1, PGR, SULT1E1, STS) and survival after breast cancer diagnosis. A COMT polymorphism (rs4818) showed significant association with survival in a dominant model (HR=0.80, 95% CI: 0.69-0.95, p=0.009), though this was only marginally significant after permutation adjustment (p=0.047). No significant associations were found in the other genes studied.

About PGR

This gene encodes a member of the steroid receptor superfamily. The encoded protein mediates the physiological effects of progesterone, which plays a central role in reproductive events associated with the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy. This gene uses two distinct promotors and translation start sites in the first exon to produce several transcript variants, both protein coding and non-protein coding. Two of the isoforms (A and B) are identical except for an additional 165 amino acids found in the N-terminus of isoform B and mediate their own response genes and physiologic effects with little overlap.
