Genetic variations in vascular endothelial growth factor but not in angiotensin I-converting enzyme genes are associated with endometriosis in Estonian women
European journal of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology ·doi:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2010.07.021

OBJECTIVE: To determine plausible associations between endometriosis and vascular endothelial growth factor gene (VEGF -2578 A/C, -1154 G/A, -634 G/C and 936 C/T), also angiotensin I-converting enzyme gene (ACE -240 A/T and 2350 A/G) single…

Polymorphisms in MMP-2 and MMP-9 promoter regions are associated with endometriosis
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2009.12.024

In this case-control study, we investigated the potential associations of MMP-2 and MMP-9 gene promoter region polymorphisms as well as MMP-2 promoter haplotypes with susceptibility to endometriosis in women of caucasian origin. The results…

Aromatase gene (CYP19A1) variants, female infertility and ovarian stimulation outcome: a preliminary report
Reproductive BioMedicine Online ·doi:10.1016/s1472-6483(10)60009-0

Progress has been made towards ascertaining the genetic predictors of ovarian stimulation in IVF. Aromatase cytochrome P450, encoded by the CYP19A1 gene, catalyses a key step in ovarian oestrogen biosynthesis. Hence, the aromatase gene is a…

Allelic estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) gene variants predict the outcome of ovarian stimulation in in vitro fertilization
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/gam035

The outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF) depends substantially on the effectiveness of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) induced by administration of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). In COH, endogenously produced estrogens ext…
