Abstract excerpt

We investigated whether three polymorphisms in the matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2; -1306C-->T and -735C-->T) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2; -418G-->C) genes were related to the risk of endometriosis in reproductive-aged women with and without endometriosis. Our results indicate that the TIMP-2 -418C/C homozygote may be a protective factor against the development of endometriosis in North...
