Fertil Steril. 2008 Oct;90(4):1243-5. doi: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2007.11.034. Epub Gentilini, Davide| Vigano, Paola| Carmignani, Luca| Spinelli, Matteo| Busacca, Mauro| Di Blasio, Anna Maria Molecular Biology Laboratory, Istituto Auxologico Italiano, Milan, Italy. In this study, we sought to examine the association between P receptor +331G/A polymorphism and endometriosis. We excluded any relationship between endometriosis in general and the P receptor +331G/A polymorphism but found a significant association with deep-infiltrating endometriosis, supporting a potential role of this variant in the P receptor-dependent invasive behavior of endometrial cells.
