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…
Endometriosis is a multifactorial disorder where angiogenesis or neo visualization plays an important role in the etiopathogenesis of the disease, which has a prevalence rate of 10-15% in women of reproductive
AIM: To investigate the role of loss of heterozygosity (LOH), single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and the expression of gene p53 in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. METHODS: LOH at the p53 gene locus (17p13.1) was examined in matched…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a distressing gynecological disorder. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is specific for recognition of the molecular pattern of gram-negative bacteria. TLR4 is present on the surface of endometrial cells. Their role i…
