Dynamic mutations in the 5' untranslated region of FMR1 are associated with infertility. Premutation alleles interfere with prenatal development and increase infertility risks. The number of CGG repeats that causes the highest decrease in o…

Background Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) FSHB :c.-211G>T, FSHR :c.919G>A, and FSHR :c.2039G>A were reported to be associated with the variability in FSH and LH levels, and in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. In this study, w…

BackgroundImportant candidate genes involved in the ovarian response to exogenous FSH are the estrogen receptor genes (ESRs), since the effects of estrogens on follicle growth, maturation and oocyte release. It is known that some markers of…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic condition whose pathophysiology is unknown, but there is evidence suggesting a link with oxidative stress. Paraoxonase is a serum enzyme which circulates associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL).…

We aimed to evaluate the frequency of the G-765C/rs20417 polymorphism in theCOX2gene and the gene expression in the endometrium of women with endometriosis. We performed a casecontrol study comprising 257 infertile and30 fertile women diagn…

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 …

Numerous hypotheses have been put forward to explain the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue and stroma. The immune system participates in the homeostasis of the peritoneal cavity, and modifications in its functioning have been advanced …

IntroductionTyrosine kinase 2 gene (TYK2) is part of the janus kinase (JAK) that binds to the type I interferon-α receptor (IFNAR) on the cell surface of IFN-producing cells, and have crucial importance in the etiology of autoimmune and inf…
