Abstract

Objective ESR2 and CYP19A1 genes play a major role in the hormonal control of women with endometriosis. The aim of the study was to analyze single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 3'UTR region of ESR2 and CYP19A1 genes. The study aimed at localisation of new polymorphisms, the nucleotide variants of which determine the level of susceptibility to endometriosis.Study design The study included n = 200 patients: 100 with endometriosis and 100 healthy controls. The Sanger's sequencing method was applied for polymorphism analysis.Results Statistically significant correlations were identified between new, not previously described, two SNPs of ESR2 gene and endometriosis: rs4986938 (G>A) and rs928554 (A>G). In the case of rs4986938 polymorphism, the genotype AA was found to decrease the risk of endometriosis (OR = 0.24 95 % PU 0.05-1.22, p = 0.04). Analysis of the rs928554 polymorphism revealed that the occurrence of the AG genotype reduced the risk of endometriosis (OR = 0.38 95 % PU 0.21-0.71, p = 0.002). There were no differences in the distribution of genotypes of the polymorphisms rs10046 (C>T) and rs4646 (C>A) of CYP19A1 gene between patients and control.Conclusions Further studies are necessary in groups with higher numbers of patients to explain whether the above-mentioned polymorphisms may be the risk factors for endometriosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
