Analysis of WNT4 polymorphism in Chinese Han women with endometriosis.

Abstract excerpt

Endometriosis is a complex disease that is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. In endometriosis, WNT4 plays a likely role owing to its biological functions. In this study, the TaqMan allelic discrimination technique was used to investigate the relationship between endometriosis and four single nucleotide polymorphisms in WNT4 (rs7521902 [A/C], rs16826658 [G/T], rs7515106 [C/T] and rs2235529 [A/G]) in...
