Jerry Emanuelson is the creator of http://www.futurescience.com/ and has wondered if rs17703883(C;C) may have contributed to his familial osteoporosis. This SNP indicates a variant in the gene that codes for the aromatase enzyme. Results of his subsequent blood tests, with an unusually high ratio of free testosterone to estradiol, have tended to confirm a problem with the aromatase enzyme.
After using supplemental topical estradiol for 10 months, the preliminary results of a DEXA bone density scan on May 6, 2009 indicated an increase in lumbar spinal density of 20.1 percent over the previous year, which is a very substantial increase in bone density over a one year period. This is further confirmation of the possible linkage of rs17703883(C;C) to his familial osteoporosis. See the external link to his more extensive comments, with additional medical references.
