BackgroundEndometriosis is a multifactorial estrogen dependent gynecological disease characterized by implantation of functional endometrial tissue at ectopic positions. Though this disease is benign, it is associated with an increased risk…
STUDY QUESTION: Are mutations in the phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) gene associated with endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the 10q23.3 locus, PTEN somatic mutations and changes i…
The objective of the present study was to investigate the association between gene E-cadherin single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and risk of developing endometriosis in Indian women and to evaluate the role of E-cadherin expression in t…
OBJECTIVE(S): Studies on association between endometriosis and various phase I and phase II detoxification genes such as glutathione S-transferase M1 and theta 1 (GSTM1 and GSTT1) and cytochrome P450 (CYP1A1) have produced inconsistent resu…
ObjectiveTo investigate the association of the -174 G/C promoter polymorphism of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene with endometriosis in South Indian women.MethodsThe genotype frequencies of the common IL-6 -174 G/C polymorphism were compared i…
BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a major mediator of angiogenesis and vascular permeability, is known to play a key role in the pathophysiology of endometriosis. METHODS AND RESULTS: The single nucleotide polymorphisms…
Aylamine-N-acetyl transferase is a phase II detoxification enzyme encoded by the gene NAT2. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) changes from the wild type NAT2 *4 allele result in allelic variants *5, *6 and *7. Homozygotes for the NAT2 *4…
