Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We have recently reported that stress-induced phosphoprotein 1 (STIP1) is over-expressed in endometriosis/adenomyosis tissues. STIP1 may also be involved in immune regulation, thus we attempted to study the association between STIP1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and endometriosis/adenomyosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Five STIP1 SNPs (rs7941773, rs2845597, rs4980524, rs2282490, and rs2236647)...
