BACKGROUND/AIM: Over-expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) has been suggested as a biomarker for endometriosis. However, the genetic influence of MMP-1 in the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unclear, with its role yet to be…
BACKGROUND/AIM: The activity and expression of matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP7) have been found to be upregulated in the late stages of endometriosis. However, the contribution of MMP7 genotype to endometriosis has seldom been examined. Th…
BACKGROUND/AIM: Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) is a critical protein in DNA repair, genomic stability, and carcinogenesis. Functional polymorphisms in FEN1 promoter -69G>A (rs174538) and 3'UTR 4150G>T (rs4246215), have been associated with the …
Endometriosis is a major health issue among women of reproductive age. However, its etiology has not yet been completely understood. We investigated 10 single nucleotide polymorphisms from six novel nucleotide excision repair genes and the …
