Association of FCRL3 -169T/C polymorphism with endometriosis and identification of a protective haplotype against the development of the disease in Brazilian population.

Abstract excerpt

An aberrant immunologic mechanism has been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Fc receptor-like 3 gene (FCRL3) has been proposed as a novel autoimmune predisposing factor. The authors have hypothesized a possible relationship between endometriosis, infertility, and FCRL3 polymorphisms. This was a case-control study that included 170 women with endometriosis-related infertility, 91 women...
