AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined the frequency of the BLyS -817C>T genetic variant in women with deep infiltrating endometriosis or adenomyosis compared to women without endometriosis symptoms and healthy women.
- Women with deep infiltrating endometriosis were less likely to have the BLyS -817C/T genotype when compared to the reference group.
- The odds ratio for having this genotype was 0.50, suggesting a significant difference in genetic predisposition among the groups analyzed.
Article Abstract
The prevalence of the BLyS -817C>T polymorphic variant among women with either deep infiltrating endometriosis or adenomyosis compared with a group of gynecologic patients without symptomatic endometriosis and a group of healthy women was assessed in this study. Patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis had less often a BLyS -817C/T genotype as compared with the reference group, with an odds ratio of 0.50 (95% confidence interval 0.27-0.93 versus the C/C genotype).
