Estrogen receptor-alpha thymidine and adenine repeat polymorphism and endothelial fibrinolytic regulation in postmenopausal women
Article Abstract:
The association of the long (TA)(sub n) dinucleotide repeat allele with blunted endothelial tissue-type plasminogen activator release in healthy postmenopausal women is discussed. Significantly higher amount of tissue-type plasminogen activator antigen is released in the short allele group as compared to the long and mixed allele groups.

Aberrant methylation at HOXA10 may be responsible for its aberrant expression in the endometrium of patients with endometriosis
Article Abstract:
The cause of aberrant expression of HOXA10 is examined. Aberrant methylation at HOXA10 is observed in the endometrium of women with endometriosis probably causing the aberrant gene expression.
