Absence of activating somatic mutations of PI3KCA and AKT1 genes in South Indian women with endometriosis.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the PI3KCA and AKT1 gene influences the risk of developing endometriosis in South Indian women. STUDY DESIGN: Mutations in exon 9 and 20 of PI3KCA gene and E17K mutation in exon 4 of AKT1 gene were tested for association in a case-control study between eutopic and ectopic endometrium tissue from 30 endometriosis cases and eutopic endometrium tissue from 30 controls. The genotype...
