To investigate the association between the androgen receptor (AR) cytosine, adenine, and guanine (CAG) repeat polymorphisms and endometriosis.
A prospective case-control, genetic association study was performed on women with surgically proven endometriosis (n=421) and controls free of endometriosis (n=349). AR CAG repeat lengths were determined from peripheral blood samples. The difference in the frequency of each alleles were compared in patients with endometriosis and controls using Chi-square test.
No significant difference in biallelic length mean between patients and controls was observed. Alleles containing 24 CAG repeats were significantly more frequent in stage I-II (mild) endometriosis than in the control samples (19.8% and 13.3%, respectively; OR 1.60, 95% CI 1.04-2.47). Additionally, a higher frequency of both alleles with 24 or more CAG repeats was observed in individuals with mild endometriosis, in comparison with the controls (25.6% and 15.2%, respectively; OR 1.92, 95% CI 1.09-3.38).
AR gene CAG repeat polymorphisms are associated with the increased risk of mild endometriosis.
探讨雄激素受体(AR)胞嘧啶、腺嘌呤和鸟嘌呤(CAG)重复多态性与子宫内膜异位症之间的关联。
对经手术证实患有子宫内膜异位症的女性(n = 421)和无子宫内膜异位症的对照女性(n = 349)进行了一项前瞻性病例对照基因关联研究。从外周血样本中确定AR CAG重复长度。使用卡方检验比较子宫内膜异位症患者和对照中每个等位基因频率的差异。
患者和对照之间的双等位基因长度平均值未观察到显著差异。在I-II期(轻度)子宫内膜异位症患者中,含有24个CAG重复的等位基因频率显著高于对照样本(分别为19.8%和13.3%;OR 1.60,95% CI 1.04 - 2.47)。此外,与对照相比,轻度子宫内膜异位症患者中CAG重复数为24个或更多的两个等位基因频率更高(分别为25.6%和15.2%;OR 1.92,95% CI 1.09 - 3.38)。
AR基因CAG重复多态性与轻度子宫内膜异位症风险增加有关。
