PURPOSE: To elucidate the correlation between ovarian reserve and the incidence of ectopic pregnancy (EP) following in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF/ET) cycles. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this observational study, 430 fresh I…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between the androgen receptor (AR) cytosine, adenine, and guanine (CAG) repeat polymorphisms and endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN: A prospective case-control, genetic association study was perform…

Pathogenesis of the endometriosis is complex and the etiology is still unclear. The objective of this study was to examine that endometrial gene expression in late secretory phase endometrium differs between patients with and without endome…

OBJECTIVE: We studied the association between sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) and several clinical in vitro fertilization outcomes. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 169 consecutive fresh IVF cycles. Semen was collected on the day of oocy…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes between women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) after endometrioma operation and women with DOR without ovarian surgery. METHODS: This retrospective case-control study inc…

Interleukin-2 receptor b gene C627T polymorphism in Korean women with endometriosis: a case–control study

Endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene Glu298Asp polymorphism is associated with advanced stage endometriosis

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether specific genetic polymorphisms in the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2B antisense RNA (CDKN2B-AS) gene and near the wingless-type MMTV integration site family member 4 (WNT4) gene are associated with end…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of laparoscopic surgery on the natural conception rate in infertile women with endometriosis during the first year after the operation. METHODS: We retrospectively studied 43 infertile women with sur…

OBJECTIVE: Genetic factors are known to be associated with the development and progression of endometriosis, but the genes related to endometriosis have not been defined. Insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) are believed to …

OBJECTIVES: To determine if specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) gene were meaningful markers for the risk of advanced stage endometriosis in a Korean population. STUDY DESIGN: Case…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the relationship between endometriosis and polymorphisms in insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and IGF-I receptor genes. STUDY DESIGN: In a case-control study, 128 women with endometriosis and 108 control women were…

OBJECTIVE: There are limited data regarding the significance of elevated serum CA-125 level during IUI cycles, even though it is used widely during the initial evaluation of infertile patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the p…

PROBLEM: To investigate whether the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-γ2 Pro12Ala polymorphism is associated with a risk of advanced-stage endometriosis in a Korean population. METHODS OF STUDY: Case-control study in a coll…

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility that the K469E and G241R polymorphisms in the intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) gene and the C-634G polymorphism in the interleukin (IL)-6 gene are associate…

PROBLEM: To investigate whether the glutathione-S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) exon 5 polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to advanced stage endometriosis in Korean women. METHOD OF STUDY: Case-control study in a collective of 260 pati…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) gene -509 C/T polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to advanced-stage endometriosis. DESIGN: Case-control study. SETTING: University department of o…

BACKGROUND: Altered expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) has been reported to be involved in the development of endometriosis. The genotypes of eNOS gene (NOS3) may be responsible for variation in its enzymatic activity as…
