OBJECTIVES: Genome-wide association studies in patients with endometriosis revealed ten significant single nucleo-tide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Caucasian population, which include rs12700667 near NFE2L3, rs12037376 in WNT4, rs7521902 nea…
PURPOSE: Endometriosis is considered to be an estrogen-related chronic inflammatory disease. The 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (HSD17B1) converts estrone to 17β estradiol. The role of HSD17B1 937 A>G (rs605059) single nucleotide polymo…
Endometriosis is considered to be an epigenetic disease. It has previously been reported that the DNA methyltransferase 3-like (DNMT3L) rs8129776 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) contributes to endometrioma. In the present study, high‑r…
There are inconsistent data on the contribution of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) -460 C/T (rs833061), +405 G/C (rs2010963) and +936 C/T (rs3025039) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to endometriosis in different ethnicities…
Data suggests that dopamine receptor DRD2 gene variants may contribute to hyperprolactinemia and that they may be risk factors for endometriosis-related infertility. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether nucleotide varia…
It has recently been reported that vitamin D blood plasma levels are associated with reduced risk of endometriosis. The present study aimed to investigate whether the vitamin D binding protein (GC), vitamin D receptor (VDR), and retinoid X …
We investigated the previously-demonstrated association of seven genome-wide association studies (GWAS) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including rs2072590 (HOXD-AS1), rs2665390 (TIPARP), rs10088218 and rs10098821 (8q24), rs3814113 …
ObjectiveOverexpression of DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) and aberrant methylation of various genes in eutopic endometrium have been demonstrated in women with endometriosis. We aimed to study whether DNMT3A polymorphisms could be a gene…
ObjectiveEndometriosis has been considered an epigenetic disease. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in genes encoding enzymes of the folate and choline metabolism may affect DNA methyltransferase activity.Study designWe studied…
