ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To explore the association of the N-acetyl transferase 2 (NAT 2) gene polymorphisms with endometriosis.METHODS:
One hundred seventy-two women with surgically or histologically diagnosed endometriosis of stages I-IV, and 205 patients with no evidence of endometriosis by laparoscopy or laparotomy served as control. Genotype distribution of NAT 2 polymorphisms and frequencies of slow and fast acetylators in affected women and controls were evaluated.RESULTS:
There was no statistically significant difference in the genotype distribution of NAT 2 polymorphisms and frequencies of slow and fast acetylators between the patients with endometriosis and the controls.CONCLUSION:
These results suggest that N-acetyl transferase 2 gene polymorphisms is not associated with the risk for endometriosis in the Korean population.
