Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate the role of genetic variations and expression alterations of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in the pathophysiology of endometriosis. METHODS: A genetic association study was conducted in 573 endometriosis cases and 490 controls of Indian origin. We genotyped 13 selected promoter SNPs of BRCA1 gene and 2 selected promoter SNPs of BRCA2 gene by PCR-sequencing analysis. In addition, to better...
