Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of the matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) 1, 3 promoter single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with the susceptibility to endometriosis (EM) and adenomyosis. METHODS: The SNP of the MMP-1 and MMP-3 gene promoter region was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) among 100 endometriosis patients, 80 adenomyosis patients and 150...
