The objective of the study was to investigate whether the TYK2 gene influences the risk of developing endometriosis in South Indian women. The non-synonymous SNP, rs2304256, in exon8 of the TYK2 gene was tested for association in a case–con…

An aberrant immunologic mechanism and mitochondrial biogenesis have been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Genetic alterations in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-…

The aim of the study was to investigate the association between Histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1), Sirtuin1 (SIRT1), and Sirtuin3 (SIRT3) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and risk of endometriosis in South Indian women. A total of 300 sub…

Aim: The Mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) and mitochondrial (mt) DNA copy number variations are known to contribute in disease development. Genetic factors play an important role in the development of endometriosis. Therefore, th…

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…

PurposeTo investigate the role of genetic variations and expression alterations of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in the pathophysiology of endometriosis.MethodsA genetic association study was conducted in 573 endometriosis cases and 490 controls of…

PurposePolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a most common endocrine disorder of reproductive age women. Interleukin-6 is involved in the pathophysiological characteristics associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The-174 G/C IL-6 ge…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the association of mitochondrial displacement (D-) loop alterations with endometriosis in south Indian women.DesignCase-control study.SettingBiochemistry and molecular biology laboratories.Patient(s)Women with (n = 152)…

Genetic alterations and aberrant expression of 'mitochondrial membrane complex I' (MMC-I) underlie several complex human disorders, but no reports are documented to date in endometriosis. Sequencing of mitochondrially encoded MMC-I subunits…

Endometriosis is a complex gynecological disease, characterized by the presence and growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, resulting in pelvic pain and infertility. It occurs in 10% of women in their reproductive age. The viable e…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological benign disease that shares several features similar to malignancy. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations have been reported in all most all types of tumors. However, it is not known as to w…

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…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease causing pelvic pain and infertility in 10% of reproductive-aged women. Despite a long history of the disease the pathogenesis of endometriosis is poorly understood. It is known that…

ObjectiveTo investigate whether the PI3KCA and AKT1 gene influences the risk of developing endometriosis in South Indian women.Study designMutations in exon 9 and 20 of PI3KCA gene and E17K mutation in exon 4 of AKT1 gene were tested for as…

The identification of molecular differences in the endometrium of women with endometriosis is an important step toward understanding the pathogenesis of this condition and for developing novel strategies for the treatment of associated infe…

ObjectiveTo investigate whether the eNOS gene influences the risk of developing endometriosis in south Indian women.Study designThe single nucleotide polymorphism, Glu298Asp, in exon7 of the eNOS gene was tested for association in a case-co…

BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to test whether the signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) gene influences the risk of developing endometriosis. METHODS: The single-nucleotide polymorphism, G2964A, in the 3'-untran…

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…
