The joint effect of hOGG1 genotype and smoking habit on endometriosis in Taiwan
This study found no association between hOGG1 codon 326 genotypes and endometriosis risk in Taiwan, but observed a joint effect of hOGG1 genotype and smoking on increased endometriosis risk.

This study examined whether polymorphisms in the DNA repair gene hOGG1 at codon 326 are associated with endometriosis risk in a Taiwanese population, and whether there are joint effects with smoking. Genotyping via PCR-RFLP was performed in 153 endometriosis cases and 636 non-endometriosis healthy controls, with case-control genotype and allele frequency comparisons using chi-square tests. The hOGG1 codon 326 genotypes were not significantly different between cases and controls in either genotypic or allelic analyses, but an interaction with smoking status was reported: hOGG1 codon 326 genotypes were increased in endometriosis risk among smokers but not among non-chewers. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it assesses the association and smoking-associated interaction of the hOGG1 codon 326 polymorphism with endometriosis risk in Taiwan.
