Abbreviations: CI=confidence interval; EM=oestrogen metabolite; NA=not available.

a

Unadjusted analysis.

b

A negative difference may be interpreted as lower levels in CYP3A7*1C carriers compared with non-carriers.

c

Missing values: 2-OHE2, 1 sample (non-carrier); 2-MeOE2, 11 samples (11 women, 2 non-carriers, 9 carriers); 3-MeOE1, 11 samples (9 women, 2 non-carriers, 7 carriers), 16-ketoE2, 5 samples (3 women, 2 non-carriers, 1 carrier).
