Fertil Steril. 2010 Aug;94(3):1108-10. doi: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2009.10.041. de Graaff, Aisha A| Dunselman, Gerard A J| Delvoux, Bert| van Kaam, Kim J| Smits, Luc J M| Romano, Andrea Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, GROW-School for Oncology and Developmental Biology, Maastricht University Medical Center, Maastricht, the Netherlands. aa.de.graaff@mumc.nl 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).
