Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To explore the association of the estrogen receptor PvuII and XbaI polymorphism with endometriosis.
METHODS
One hundred sixty women with surgically or histologically diagnosed endometriosis of stages I-IV, and 142 patients with no evidence of endometriosis by laparoscopy or laparotomy served as control. Frequency and distribution of PvuII and XbaI polymorphisms for estrogen receptor gene were evaluated.
RESULTS
There was no statistically significant difference in the allele distribution of PvuII polymorphism between the patients and the controls (pp of 35%, pP of 51%, PP of 14% vs. 42%, 44%, 15%, p>0.1); or in the frequency of the positive PvuII allele (0.61 vs. 0.63, p>0.1). And no significant difference was also observed in the allele distribution of XbaI polymorphism between the patients and the controls (xx of 66%, xX of 29%, XX of 5% vs. 68%, 30%, 1%, p>0.1); or in the frequency of the positive XbaI allele (0.80 vs. 0.83, p>0.1).
CONCLUSION
These results suggest that the PvuII or XbaI polymorphism of the estrogen receptor gene is not associated with the risk for endometriosis in the Korean population.
