Abstract
Background. Uterine leiomyoma is the most common pelvic tumor in women of reproductive age. It is well established that endogenous sex hormones are involved in disease pathogenesis, and polymorphisms in genes encoding enzymes which act in the metabolism of steroid hormones, such as that for cytochrome P450c17α enzyme (CYP17), may therefore play a role in fibroid genesis. Variations in this gene have been thought to influence the susceptibility to hormone-related diseases. A single nucleotide polymorphism (T[arrow right]C) [rs 1042386] in promoter region of CYP17 may alter its transcription. The present study was conducted to investigate the association between this ...
