PURPOSE: Association between p53 codon 72 and endometriosis has been observed in populations of East Asia but not in those of European descent. Genetic polymorphisms could interact with p53 codon 72 influencing its association with endometr…
PTPN22 has been previously found associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). In the present note we have studied the effect of p53 codon 72, acid phosphatse locus 1 (ACP1) and adenosine deaminase (ADA) genetic polymorphism on the strengt…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the possible effect of clinical and genetic variables on the association between PTPN22 and endometriosis. METHODS: PTPN22, ACP₁ and p53 codon 72 genetic polymorphisms and duration of previous pharmacological trea…
Recent studies suggest that acid phosphatase locus 1 (ACP1) could be involved in T-cell antigen receptor signaling and in immune disorders. The present study shows that the ACP1( *)C allele, which is associated with elevated enzymatic activ…
OBJECTIVE: To study the association of endometriosis with p53 codon 72 polymorphism in the population of central Italy and to search for possible interaction with the PTPN22 polymorphism. DESIGN: Study of p53 and PTPN22 polymorphisms in wo…
