摘要
The presence of gene polymorphisms of the estrogen receptors ER alpha (PvuII and XbaI) and ER beta (AluI) in 61 women with endometriosis was investigated. A statistically significant correlation between PvuII ER alpha gene polymorphism (PvuII), both in homozygosity (PP) and in heterozygosity (Pp), and a recurrence of endometriosis was found. In conclusion, women affected by endometriosis with the ER alpha polymorphic allele, even if heterozygous, have a worse prognosis, and these results suggest that the ER alpha gene polymorphisms. may be included among the genetic risk factors for endometriosis.
