ORIGINAL ARTICLE Analysis of arom with endometrios

0 % of all women of fertile age. It is characterized by the presence and proliferation of functional endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. The aim of this study was to assess CYP19 gene. Genomic DNA from patients and controls was genotyped by polymerase chain reac-as long (L). Compared to women who possessed the S/S genotype, those who carried L/L (OR, 5.56; 95 % CI, 3.33–9.29) had significantly increased risk of endometriosis. There was a significant endometriosis having longer CYP19 repeat lengths than control subjects. The strong association Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of uterine tis-sues (endometrial glands and stroma) in areas other than the uterus, such as the pelvic floor or around the fallopian tubes and ovaries [1]. The prevalence in women without symptoms is 2–50%, depending on the diagnostic criteria used and the populations studied [2]. The incidence is 40–60 % in women with dysmenorrhea and 20–30 % in women with subfertility. The severity of symptoms and the probability of diagnosis in-crease with age. Endometriosis is associated with increased
