Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: This study investigated the possibility of K469E (rs5498) and G241R (rs1799969) polymorphisms, in ICAM-1 gene, and G634C (rs1800796), in IL-6 gene, being associated with the occurrence of endometriosis in a sample of Brazilian women. METHODS: We genotyped 200 women (100 in control group and 100 in endometriosis group) by PCR-RFLP technique for G634C, K469E, and G241R polymorphisms. RESULTS: No...
