ObjectiveTo consider a possible cumulative effect of two genetic polymorphisms (FOXP3 C-2383T/rs3761549 and FCRL3 C-169T/rs7528684) that were previously shown to be associated with endometriosis.DesignGenetic association study.SettingHuman …
ObjectiveTo evaluate FOXP3 polymorphisms (rs3761549, rs3761548, rs2232368, rs2232366, and rs2280883) in a group of infertile women with and without endometriosis and controls.DesignCase control study.SettingHuman Reproduction Outpatient Cli…
An aberrant immunologic mechanism has been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Fc receptor-like 3 gene (FCRL3) has been proposed as a novel autoimmune predisposing factor. The authors have hypothesized a possible …
An aberrant immunological mechanism is thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The present study aimed to determine whether there is a relationship between endometriosis and/or infertility and the FCRL3 C-169T polymorph…
PROBLEM: Endometriosis has been suggested to be an autoimmune disease and recently, an allelic variation of the PTPN22 (C1858T) gene was revealed to be associated with the development of autoimmunity. The aim of the study was to determine t…
