Correlative Study on Mutant allele of CYP19 240A/G, COMT 1947G/A, Endometriosis and Adenomyosis
The mutant allele of CYP19 240A/G increased the risk of endometriosis and adenomyosis, while the COMT 1947A/G allele showed no relationship.

This correlative study assessed whether SNPs in the estrogen-related genes CYP19 (240A/G) and COMT (1947G/A) are associated with endometriosis (EMs) and adenomyosis (AM) in Han women from Binzhou, China, using peripheral blood collected from 80 surgically confirmed EMs/AM cases (EMs n=30, AM n=50) and 38 matched controls without either condition. Genotypes and allele frequencies were measured by PCR-RFLP, and the authors report that CYP19 240A/G distributions differed significantly among groups, with the G allele increasing relative risk for EMs (2.463×) and AM (2.705×) and the AG/GG genotypes showing higher relative risks versus AA. In contrast, COMT 1947G/A genotype and allele distributions did not differ significantly between groups, and carriers of the A allele (GA+AA) were not associated with altered risk for EMs or AM. Limitations explicitly stated include the study’s cross-sectional, case-control design based on one geographic region and relatively small sample sizes. This paper is centrally about endometriosis and adenomyosis — it examines how CYP19 240A/G and COMT 1947G/A polymorphisms correlate with EMs and AM risk.
