Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine plausible associations between endometriosis and vascular endothelial growth factor gene (VEGF -2578 A/C, -1154 G/A, -634 G/C and 936 C/T), also angiotensin I-converting enzyme gene (ACE -240 A/T and 2350 A/G) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), as well as their respective haplotypes. STUDY DESIGN: PCR-based restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis was used to detect SNPs in...
