Research Abstract |
In this project, we investigated whether polymorphisms in several endometriosis candidate genes including TNF-beta, E-cadherin, Transforming growth factor beta1, CYP1B1, tumor necrosis factors-beta, Interleukin-10, were associated with endometriosis in a Japanese population. Genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were performed in endometriosis cases diagnosed by laparoscopy at a university hospitals and controls, by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. We compared the genotype distributions and allele frequency of these polymorphisms between endometriosis patients and controls. However, no significant differences in the frequency and genotype distributions of all of these polymorphisms were found between the endometriosis patients and controls. Moreover, stratification by disease stage also revealed that there were no significant differences between endometriosis cases and controls in all of these SNPs studied.
