Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To assess the possible association between the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) polymorphism and uterine fibroids in Brazilian women. DESIGN: Case-control study. SETTING: Department of Gynecology; teaching hospital. PATIENT(S): One hundred twenty-four premenopausal women with fibroids, and 193 postmenopausal controls not presenting the disease. INTERVENTION(S): The subjects were classified as white...
