In a group of patients with endometriosis and in a control group of healthy women, the polymorphism of the following systems were studied: ABO and RH blood-group systems; serum proteins haptoglobin (HP), transferrin (TF), vitamin D-transporting protein (GC), protease inhibitor (PI), and the third component of the complement (C3); serum enzymes-amylase of the loci 1 and 2 (AMY1 and AMY2), pseudocholinesterase (E2), and alkaline phosphatase (PP); erythrocytic enzymes-acid phosphatase (ACP1), phosphoglucomutase (PGM1), superoxide dismutase (SOD-A), esterase D (ESD), and glyoxalase (GLO1). Statistically significant differences between the groups compared were established for five genetic systems: ABO, E2, C3, TF, and PGM1. Among patient with endometriosis, the rare alleles of the locus ESD-ESD5 and ESD7-were found, along with ESD 5-5 homozygotes. Several genetic loci can be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis; their products can be specifically realized due to peculiarities of biochemical reactions in the organisms of people predisposed to this pathology.
