Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between the 306-base pair insertion polymorphism in intron G of the progesterone receptor (PROGINS) and endometriosis. DESIGN: Case-control study. SETTING: Tertiary care center. PATIENT(S): Ninety-five white women with surgically diagnosed and histologically confirmed endometriosis and 107 white women without endometriosis (controls). INTERVENTION(S): Determination of PROGINS was performed by polymerase chain reaction and gel electrophoresis. MAIN OUTCOIME MEASURE(S): Frequency and distribution of the PROGINS allele. RESULT(S): Frequencies of the mutant allele T2 was 0.17 among women with endometriosis and 0.08 among controls (odds ratio, 2.41 [CI, 1.31-4.53]). Homozygosity for allele T2 was present in 3.2% of women with endometriosis and 0.9% of controls. CONCLUSION(S): PROGINS appears to be associated with endometriosis in white persons.
