Endometriosis and leiomyoma are both common estrogen-related gynaecological diseases. We aimed to elucidate the association of estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha)-351 A>G (XbaI) and -397 T>C (PvuII) gene polymorphisms with endometriosis and l…

ObjectiveTo investigate the association of endometriosis with estrogen receptor alpha (ER alpha) and cytochrome P450c17alpha (CYP17) gene polymorphisms in light of the fact that estrogen plays a role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis and…

2005
Interleukin (IL)-2 R-627*C homozygote and C allele are related to higher susceptibility to endometriosis. Interleukin-12Rbeta1 codon 378 and IL-18 105 gene polymorphisms are not correlated with endometriosis development.

2005
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-B) family members are multi-functional cytokines that play a key role in cellular growth, proliferation, and differentiation. The aim of the study was to investigate whether the TGF-B1-509 gene polymorph…

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a regulator of angiogenesis and mediator of sex steroid-induced cell growth and differentiation. We observed that EGFR gene 2073*T-related genotypes and allele are associated with higher susceptibi…
2004
ObjectiveAndrogen receptor (AR) was detected in leiomyoma. AR gene has a polymorphic microsatellite encoding cytosine, adenine, and guanine (CAG) repeats. We aimed to investigate the association between the AR gene CAG repeats and leiomyoma…

2003
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether interleukin-10 (IL-10) -627 gene promoter polymorphism could be used as a marker of susceptibility to endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN: Women were divided into 2 groups, endometriosis (n = 130) and nonendometrio…
