PROBLEM: To establish a multilocus model for studying the effect of dioxin receptor complex components and detoxification-related enzymes on advanced endometriosis. METHOD OF STUDY: Six single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and two deletion polymorphisms from eight genes (CYP1A1, CYP1B1, GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1, AhR, ARNT, and AhRR) were genotyped. RESULTS: In the single SNP analysis, GSTM1 null type and AhRR variant type were associated with a significantly increased risk of endometriosis [odds ratio (OR)=2.38 and 2.45, respectively]. Using multiple SNPs in the logistic regression for covariates, wild-type AhR and mutant AhRR combination was significantly higher in patients (67.8%) than in controls (48.0%) (OR=2.76). On the other hand, mutant AhRR in combination with GSTM1 null genotype was significantly higher in patients (35.5%) than in controls (19.3%) (OR=6.12). CONCLUSION: Polymorphisms of dioxin receptor complex components and detoxification-related genes jointly confer susceptibility to advanced-stage endometriosis in the Taiwanese Han population.
