OBJECTIVE: To assess the association of a single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) in tumor suppressor gene P53 with the risk of endometriosis (EM) in Han Chinese women. METHODS: For 460 EM patients, 113 patients with endometrial carcinoma and 530 matched unrelated controls, a rs1042522(C/G) SNP of the P53 gene was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-single strand polymorphism (PCR-SSP) and DNA sequencing. RESULTS: A significant difference has been detected in the distribution of rs1042522 alleles and genotypes between the EM patients and controls (P< 0.01). Allele G has increased the risk of EM by 1.209 times, while allele C has reduced this risk by 0.837 times. Compared with GG genotype, GC and CC genotypes have both increased the risk for EM (OR=2.073, 95%CI: 1.521-2.820, and OR=1.930, 95%CI: 1.363-2.733, respectively). Significant differences were also detected in the distribution of rs1042522 alleles and genotypes between endometrial carcinoma patients and controls (P< 0.01). Allele G has increased the risk to endometrial carcinoma by 1.311 times, while allele C has reduced this risk by 0.757 times. Compared with GG genotypes, individuals with GC and CC genotypes are more likely to be affected with endometrial carcinoma (OR=2.778, 95%CI: 1.585-4.870, and OR=2.864, 95%CI: 1.557-5.263, respectively). CONCLUSION: Our study has suggested a significant association between the rs1042522(G/C) polymorphism and susceptibility to EM in Han Chinese women. The mechanism of EM is similar to carcinoma from genetics point of view.
