Objective: To identify relationship between progesterone receptor
gene polymorphism promoter region +331G/A with the risk of
endometriosis.
Method: An observational case-control study. Population are women
with endometriosis and/or adenomyosis who have been performed
laparotomy/laparoscopy at Obstetrics and Gynecology
Department Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang,
January-November 2013. Subjects fulfilled inclusion criteria, given
informed consent and performed blood sampling continued by PCRRFLP.
Results were divided into A/A genotype (homozygote mutant),
G/A (heterozygote mutant), and G/G (homozygote wild type).
Data were analyzed by SPSS 21.0 version.
Result: PCR-RFLP results for+331G/A genotype were 26 (54.1%) in
case group and 14 (26.4%) in control. +331A/A genotype was not
found in both groups. There was significant increase risk of endometriosis
in women carrying genotype +331G/A to those with genotype
+331G/G with OR 3.29 (p
