N-acetyl transferase 2 polymorphism and advanced stages of endometriosis in South Indian women
Reproductive BioMedicine Online ·doi:10.1016/s1472-6483(10)61638-0

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…
