SULT2A1 gene copy number variation is associated with urinary excretion rate of steroid sulfates
Human cytosolic sulfotransferases 2A1 is the main enzyme involved in the sulfate conjugation of dehydroepiandrosterone, a weak androgen and the main androgen precursor, whereas estrogens are mainly conjugated by SULT1A1. Here we have identified a copy number variation polymorphism in the SULT2A1 gen...
