Views98PURPOSE: to analyze race, parity and presence of the progesterone receptor polymorphism, named PROGINS, as factors related to uterine leiomyoma occurrence in Brazilian women. METHODS: we carried out a case-control study, composed of 122 patients with the diagnosis of uterine fibroid and 125 women without the disease. After recording the clinical data, we collected biological material for DNA extraction, polymerase chain reaction and agarose gel electrophoresis in order to identify the presence of PROGINS polymorphism. Statistical analysis was performed using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test or the chi2 test, depending on the studied variable. The risk for the occurrence of the disease was calculated by the logistic regression model, providing the odds ratio (OR). The adopted significance level was 5% (p<0.05) and the confidence interval was 95% (95% CI). RESULTS: we observed a higher prevalence of "non-white"women - mulatto and black - (50 vs 22.4%) and nulliparas (23.8 vs 11.2%) in the cases, while the progesterone receptor genotype was more often PROGINS positive - heterozygous or mutant homozygous - among the controls (21.6 vs 10.7%). The OR indicated an elevated risk for leiomyoma related to the "non-white"race (OR=3.46; 95% CI: 2.0-6.0) and the nulliparity (OR=3.30; 95% CI: 1.9-5.6), with reduction in the presence of PROGINS-positive genotypes (OR=0.43; 95% CI: 0.2-0.9). CONCLUSIONS: the "non-white"race and nulliparity were considered risk factors for the occurrence of uterine fibroid in the studied population, while PROGINS polymorphism showed to be a protective factor.

METHODS: a case-control study carried out from November 2003 to May 2004. The genotypes of 104 women were analyzed 66 women had had surgically confirmed endometriosis (26 women at stages I-II and 40 at stages III-IV), and 38 were healthy women. The 306-base pair Alu insertion polymorphism in the intron G of the progesterone receptor gene was detected by polymerase chain reaction and analyzed on 2% agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide. ANOVA analysis was performed in order to make comparisons between among the studied groups. RESULTS: the groups of women with endometriosis stages I-II (EndoI group) and stages III-IV (EndoII group) showed statistically significant increased incidence of PROGINS polymorphic allele as compared with the control group: 27% in the EndoI group, 38% in EndoII and 18% in the control group (p < 0.001. In the analyses, a high frequency of the PROGINS insertion was observed in women with endometriosis as compared to healthy women, disregarding the clinical stage of the disease (p = 0.0385). CONCLUSION: there is a significant statistical association between the PROGINS polymorphism and pelvic endometriosis.
