Association of and Polymorphisms with Endometrial Polyp Risk

Abstract

Introduction: Insulin-like growth factor 1 is a peptide growth factor that promotes cell proliferation and inhibits apoptosis. The bioavailability of is regulated by the insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 Genetic variations influence the levels of and . The purpose of this study was to examine the association of polymorphisms and with risk of endometrial polyps.

Materials And Methods: Case control observational study, composed of 104 women with antecedent of endometrial polyp (case group) and 81 postmenopausal women without antecedent of endometrial diseases (control group). Genotyping of was performed by PCR and fragment analysis by capillary electrophoresis, and genotyping of was performed by PCR-HRM. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by logistic regression.

Results: The genotype was associated with an increased endometrial polyp risk (OR=2,57; IC 95%= 1,09 - 6,01); this was also found when combining it with genotypes (OR=2,18; IC 95%= 1,06-4,47). The analyses showed the genotype having a protective effect for endometrial polyp (OR=0,37; IC 95%= 0,19-0,73), fact also observed when grouping and carriers (OR=0,51; IC 95%= 0,28-0,93).

Conclusion: The genotypes and + of the may be considered a risk for endometrial polyp, whereas the genotypes and + of polymorphism have an inverse effect of endometrial polyp risk.
