Little is known about the differences in ten-eleven translocation 1, 2, and 3 (TET1-3) expression in the endometrial phases in eutopic endometrium from infertile women with endometriosis (IWE) and fertile women without endometriosis (FW). U…

Little is known about the differences in ten-eleven translocation 1, 2, and 3 (TET1-3) expression in the endometrial phases in eutopic endometrium from infertile women with endometriosis (IWE) and fertile women without endometriosis (FW). U…

OBJECTIVES: Genome-wide association studies in patients with endometriosis revealed ten significant single nucleo-tide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Caucasian population, which include rs12700667 near NFE2L3, rs12037376 in WNT4, rs7521902 nea…

PURPOSE: Endometriosis is considered to be an estrogen-related chronic inflammatory disease. The 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (HSD17B1) converts estrone to 17β estradiol. The role of HSD17B1 937 A>G (rs605059) single nucleotide polymo…

Endometriosis is considered to be an epigenetic disease. It has previously been reported that the DNA methyltransferase 3-like (DNMT3L) rs8129776 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) contributes to endometrioma. In the present study, high‑r…

There are inconsistent data on the contribution of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) -460 C/T (rs833061), +405 G/C (rs2010963) and +936 C/T (rs3025039) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to endometriosis in different ethnicities…

Data suggests that dopamine receptor DRD2 gene variants may contribute to hyperprolactinemia and that they may be risk factors for endometriosis-related infertility. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether nucleotide varia…

It has recently been reported that vitamin D blood plasma levels are associated with reduced risk of endometriosis. The present study aimed to investigate whether the vitamin D binding protein (GC), vitamin D receptor (VDR), and retinoid X …

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is recognized as an estrogen-dependent disease. There are conflicting data demonstrating single nuclear polymorphisms (SNPs) of CYP17 and CYP19 steroidogenic genes as related to endometriosis risk. We assessed the C…

OBJECTIVE: Recently, the FCRL3 -169T>C (rs7528684) single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) has been demonstrated to be a risk factor of endometriosis related infertility. We studied whether the FCRL -169T>C SNP can be associated with endometri…

BACKGROUND: A decrease in HOXA11 expression in eutopic mid-secretory endometrium has been found in women with endometriosis-associated infertility. METHODS: Using Real-time quantitative PCR (RQ-PCR) and western blotting analysis we studied …

PROBLEM: To determine the value of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) assessment for predicting the reproductive outcome. METHOD OF STUDY: Two phase study. Phase I: assessment of LIF in uterine flushing. Phase II: 1,5 years after examining t…
