Relação entre polimorfismo do gene do receptor de progesterona, raça, paridade e ocorrência de leiomioma uterino

Abstract: Objetivos: analisamos raça, paridade e presença do polimorfismo do gene do receptor de progesterona, denominado PROGINS, como fatores relacionados à ocorrência de leiomioma uterino em mulheres brasileiras. Métodos: realizamos estudo caso-controle, no qual foram incluídas 122 pacientes com diagnóstico de leiomioma e 125 mulheres sem a doença. Após registro dos dados clínicos, coletamos material biológico para extração de DNA, reação em cadeia da polimerase e eletroforese em gel de agarose, a fim de identificar … Show more

“…The genotypic frequencies observed for the PGR PROGINS polymorphism were comparable to those reported in other studies on Brazilian and non-Brazilian populations ( 12 , 17 , 18 , 29 , 30 ). On the other hand, the genotypic frequencies of the ERα gene polymorphisms were significantly different from those described in most studies from other populations, emphasizing the importance of the population-specific determination of such frequencies ( 2 - 5 , 7 , 31 - 33 ).…”

“…Progesterone receptor (PR) mediates the physiologic effects of progesterone. Several mutations have been described for the PR gene, among which one stands out: a mutation named PROGINS, which finally results in reduction in final activity mediated by progesterone ( Gomes et al, 2006 ). We evaluated the PROGINS mutation using allele-specific PCR and correlated these results with preterm delivery, pregnancy outcome and baby birth weight.…”
