Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, an estrogen-dependent disease, is believed to be influenced by multiple genetic and environmental factors. Here, we evaluated whether the risk and severity of endometriosis are associated with polymorphisms in estradiol-synthesizing enzyme genes: the Ser312Gly polymorphism in 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (HSD17B1) and the Arg264Cys polymorphism in cytochrome P450,...
