ObjectiveTo explore the association between the genetic variant of E-cadherin gene and endometriosis-related infertility.DesignCase-control study.SettingUniversity hospital.Patient(s)Five hundred eighty-nine women with ovarian endometriosis…
AIM: To investigate the association of tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) gene with susceptibility to endometriosis. METHODS: This study comprised 571 patients with endo…
We investigated whether three polymorphisms in the matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2; -1306C-->T and -735C-->T) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2; -418G-->C) genes were related to the risk of endometriosis in reproductive-…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) with the risk of endometriosis and adenomyosis. METHODS: Genotype…
