Effect of GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 IIe105Val polymorphisms on susceptiblity to gestational diabetes mellitus

Y. H. Qiu, Xu, Y. L., Zhang, W. H., Qiu, Y. H., Xu, Y. L., and Zhang, W. H., Effect of GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 IIe105Val polymorphisms on susceptiblity to gestational diabetes mellitus, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

We investigate the role of the GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 IIe105Val genetic polymorphisms in the susceptibility to gestational diabetes mellitus. A total of 223 pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus and 265 healthy pregnant women were examined at The Second Affiliated Hospital of Shaanxi University of Chinese Medicine from May 2013 to November 2013. Genotyping for detection of GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 IIe105Val polymorphisms was conducted using the restriction fragment length polymorphism-polymerase chain reaction.

Genetic polymorphisms in patients with endometriosis: an analytical study in Goiânia (Central West of Brazil)

K. S. F. Silva, Moura, K. K. V. O., Silva, K. S. F., and Moura, K. K. V. O., Genetic polymorphisms in patients with endometriosis: an analytical study in Goiânia (Central West of Brazil), vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

In healthy women, intra- and extracellular controls prevent the attachment and proliferation of ectopic endometrial cells. During endometriosis, abnormalities in these control mechanisms permit the survival of endometrial cells, their subsequent attachment to the peritoneal cavity, and disease progression. These abnormal cells cause invasion of tissues and induce an inflammatory response. Several genetic, immunological, and environmental factors contribute to this complex process.
