The etiology of endometriosis is highly complex, and although it is a benign disease, it has several biological behaviors similar to malignant lesions, including cell invasion, neo-angiogenesis, and decreased apoptosis. Survivin is a protei…
Aberrant FOXP3 gene expression in eutopic and ectopic endometrium of infertile women with endometriosis orIgInal
Background: Immunological theories suggest that changes in the immune system could prevent the ability to eliminate the endometrium of the pelvic cavity. In women with endometriosis is possible that changes in immunity mediated by T cells f…
ObjectiveTo evaluate the frequency of polymorphism G-765C (rs20417) of the COX-2 gene and the expression of this gene in the endometrium of women with endometriosis.Study designThis is a case-control study of 365 women with endometriosis (2…
We aimed to evaluate the frequency of the G-765C/rs20417 polymorphism in theCOX2gene and the gene expression in the endometrium of women with endometriosis. We performed a casecontrol study comprising 257 infertile and30 fertile women diagn…
