Is Single Nucleotide Polymorphism ADIPOQ (NM_004797.4):c.214+62G>T (rs1501299) Associated With Uterine Leiomyomas? A Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT: Objective: Although polymorphisms of adiponectin gene (ADIPOQ) in obesity-related conditions have been the target of research efforts, little is known about this genetic marker in uterine leiomyomas. The aim of this pilot study was to analyze the frequencies of alleles and genotypes of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism ADIPOQ (NM_004797.4):c.214+62G>T (rs1501299) and to correlate it with the risk of uterine fibroids. Study Design: The Test Group comprised 90 women treated surgically for uterine leiomyomas in the Department of Operative Gynecology, Endoscopy and Gynecologic Oncology, Polish Mother's Memorial Hospital-Research Institute. 90 disease-free individuals were used as Controls. Patients within both groups were additionally stratified into lean, overweight a
