Abstract
Trophoblast cells of endometrium during bovine pregnancy with different characteristics undergo dynamic changes during uterine remodeling, which can be observed as continuous changes, as P4 secreted by the mother is replaced by placental hormones. In this context, the present study analyzed tissues' morphological changes through uterine apoptosis during early pregnancy. In addition, the expression pattern associated with apoptosis genes and 20α-HSD was determined in the endometrium and caruncle tissues. The localization of 20α-HSD, VEGF, Casp3, and mTOR protein was also determined in endometrium and caruncle during early pregnancy. From around 30 days, caruncle trophoblast cells with very high invasiveness expanded the villus section as the gestation period progressed. The surrounding cells detached and reorganized into new cells. In addition, an analysis of the effect of apoptosis on cell reorganization in the caruncle revealed that the expression of 20α-HSD/Casp-3 signals in the villus section gradually increased from 30 to 90 days. However, on the 30th day, glandular epithelial cells occurred sporadically in the trophoblast cell section. Moreover, the apoptosis of trophoblast cells increased at 90 days. Taken together, the results of the present study show that changes in the uterus during early pregnancy promote changes during later pregnancy by inducing the reorganization through the stimulation of 20α-HSD and Casp-3, promoting uterine and caruncle tissues, unlike cell development mediated by hormone signaling.

Méar L, Herr M, Fauconnier A, Pineau C, Vialard F. Polymorphisms and endometriosis: a systematic review and meta-analyses. Hum Reprod Update 2020; 26:73-102. [PMID: 31821471 DOI: 10.1093/humupd/dmz034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2019] [Revised: 08/20/2019] [Accepted: 08/28/2019] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder that affects at least 10% of women of reproductive age. It may lead to infertility and non-specific symptoms such as chronic pelvic pain. Endometriosis screening and diagnosis are difficult and time-consuming. Late diagnosis (with a delay ranging from 3.3 to 10.7 years) is a major problem and may contribute to disease progression and a worse response to treatment once initiated. Efficient screening tests might reduce this diagnostic delay. As endometriosis is presumed to be a complex disease with several genetic and non-genetic pathogenic factors, many researchers have sought to identify polymorphisms that predispose to this condition. OBJECTIVE AND RATIONALE We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the most regularly reported polymorphisms in order to identify those that might predispose to endometriosis and might thus be of value in screening. SEARCH METHODS The MEDLINE database was searched for English-language publications on DNA polymorphisms in endometriosis, with no date restriction. The PubTator text mining tool was used to extract gene names from the selected publications' abstracts. We only selected polymorphisms reported by at least three studies, having applied strict inclusion and exclusion criteria to their control populations. No stratification based on ethnicity was performed. All steps were carried out according to PRISMA guidelines. OUTCOMES The initial selection of 395 publications cited 242 different genes. Sixty-two genes (corresponding to 265 different polymorphisms) were cited at least in three publications. After the application of our other selection criteria (an original case-control study of endometriosis, a reported association between endometriosis and at least one polymorphism, data on women of reproductive age and a diagnosis of endometriosis in the cases established by surgery and/or MRI and confirmed by histology), 28 polymorphisms were eligible for meta-analysis. Only five of the 28 polymorphisms were found to be significantly associated with endometriosis: interferon gamma (IFNG) (CA) repeat, glutathione S-transferase mu 1 (GSTM1) null genotype, glutathione S-transferase pi 1 (GSTP1) rs1695 and wingless-type MMTV integration site family member 4 (WNT4) rs16826658 and rs2235529. Six others showed a significant trend towards an association: progesterone receptor (PGR) PROGINS, interCellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1) rs1799969, aryl-hydrocarbon receptor repressor (AHRR) rs2292596, cytochrome family 17 subfamily A polypeptide 1 (CYP17A1) rs743572, CYP2C19 rs4244285 and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) rs1801282), and 12 showed a significant trend towards the lack of an association: tumor necrosis factor (TNF) rs1799964, interleukin 6 (IL6) rs1800796, transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFB1) rs1800469, estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) rs2234693, PGR rs10895068, FSH receptor (FSHR) rs6166, ICAM1 rs5498, CYP1A1 rs4646903, CYP19A1 rs10046, tumor protein 53 (TP53) rs1042522, X-ray repair complementing defective repair in Chinese hamster cells 1 (XRCC1) rs25487 and serpin peptidase inhibitor clade E member 1 (SERPINE1) rs1799889; however, for the 18 polymorphisms identified in the latter two groups, further studies of the potential association with the endometriosis risk are needed. The remaining five of the 28 polymorphisms were not associated with endometriosis: glutathione S-transferase theta 1 (GSTT1) null genotype, vascular endothelial growth factor alpha (VEGFA) rs699947, rs833061, rs2010963 and rs3025039. WIDER IMPLICATIONS By carefully taking account of how the control populations were defined, we identified polymorphisms that might be candidates for use in endometriosis screening and polymorphisms not associated with endometriosis. This might constitute the first step towards identifying polymorphism combinations that predispose to endometriosis (IFNG (CA) repeat, GSTM1 null genotype, GSTP1 rs1695, WNT4 rs16826658 and WNT4 rs2235529) in a large cohort of patients with well-defined inclusion criteria. In turn, these results might improve the diagnosis of endometriosis in primary care. Lastly, our present findings may enable a better understanding of endometriosis and improve the management of patients with this disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the impact of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene in the development and severity of endometriosis. SEARCH STRATEGY We searched Medline, Scopus, Clinicaltrials.gov, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials CENTRAL and Google Scholar databases for published studies in the field. SELECTION CRITERIA We included prospective and retrospective observational studies. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Data extraction was performed using a modified data form that was based in Cochrane`s data collection form for intervention reviews. MAIN RESULTS Twenty studies were included that investigated the frequency of the various alleles of the -460C/T, +405G/C, +936C/T, -2578A/C and -1154G/A SNPs. The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium revealed that the different genotypes were comparable among patients with endometriosis and control women, as well as among patients with mild and severe forms of the disease. No differences were observed in the expression of the various alleles in the majority of cases. Ethnical variations were observed; however, the results should be regarded as inconclusive due to the small amount of available data. CONCLUSIONS The results of our meta-analysis suggest that the investigated single nucleotide polymorphisms are unlikely to significantly contribute to the development and severity of endometriosis.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate whether the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs2010963 and rs833061 in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene is correlated with the risk of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in Northern Chinese women, as a preliminary study. This case-control study comprised 118 women with PCOS and 130 healthy women as controls. Genotyping of the two polymorphisms within the VEGF gene 5'-untranslated region and promoter region were performed using polymerase chain reaction ligase detection reaction method. The data showed that there was a significant difference in the genotype and allele distribution of the rs2010963 polymorphism between the PCOS group and the control group (p = .020 and .033, respectively). The women carrying the C allele (G/C + C/C genotype) had a lower risk of PCOS compared with the women with G/G genotype [odds ratio (OR = 0.55; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.33-0.91]. Our study shows for the first time that the rs2010963 polymorphism may be associated with a risk of PCOS in Northern Chinese women.

Abstract
Aim: This study was designed to identify the possible effects of VEGFA polymorphisms on the occurrence of bleeding complications in patients with mechanical heart valves who have achieved therapeutic international normalized ratio (INR). Materials & methods: 13 SNPs of VEGFA were analyzed. Uni- and multi-variate analyses were conducted to identify associations between polymorphisms and bleeding complications. Results & conclusion: Patients with the CC genotype of rs35410204 had an approximately tenfold higher bleeding complication than those with the T allele. For rs866236, patients who had wild-type homozygotes showed an approximately 2.9-fold higher bleeding complication than C allele carriers. This study demonstrated that bleeding complications during warfarin therapy are associated with VEGFA polymorphisms in patients with mechanical heart valves.

Abstract
Endometriosis is a chronic, multifactorial, polygenic gynecological disease. Endometrium has a high angiogenic potential and endometriotic lesions involve large areas with a rich blood supply. Angiogenesis is controlled by numerous inducers, including the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family. Endometrium undergoes cyclical growth and regression during the menstrual cycle, which depends on ovarian steroid levels and is a rich source of angiogenic growth factors, including VEGF-A. The VEGF-A gene is located on chromosome 6p21.3 and it is highly polymorphic with more than 20 different variants. This article critically reviews the published data concerning the relationships between some of the VEGF-A single nucleotide polymorphisms and the risk, pathogenesis and stage of endometriosis. Contrasting results have been published in the literature - probably due to the different ethnic background and the number of patients enrolled in clinical trials. However, the increasing interest in the use of antiangiogenic drugs (eg anti-VEGF-A drugs) in the therapy of endometriosis may suggest carrying out further genetic and pharmacogenetic studies of this disease because the stratification of patients at risk of endometriosis can lead to early diagnosis and optimal treatment choice.

Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) is a serious pregnancy-specific condition, which originates from placenta and finishes after delivery. The present study has investigated the association between placental VEGF I/D (rs35569394), -1154G/A (rs1570360), and -634G/C(rs2010963) polymorphisms and maternal VEGF -2549 I/D (rs35569394) polymorphism with PE and PE severity. In this case-control study, the maternal blood of 217 women with PE and 210 normotensive pregnant women and the placenta of 84 PE women and 103 normotensive women were collected after delivery. Genotyping was done by PCR or PCR-RFLP methods. The maternal VEGF-2549I/D genotypes were not associated with PE or PE severity. The placental VEGF -2549 I/D genotypes were not associated with PE too; however; the placental VEGF-2549 DD genotype was statistically different between women with severe PE and mild PE or the controls. The placental VEGF -634GC and CC genotypes were significantly higher in PE women and associated with 2.6 and 2-fold higher risk of PE, respectively. The VEGF -634GC and CC genotypes were associated with PE severity. No association was found between placental VEGF -1154G/A polymorphism and PE or PE severity. The placental DGC haplotype of VEGF -2549 I/D, -1154G/A, and -634G/C polymorphisms was associated with 2.9-fold higher risk of PE. However, the placental IAG haplotype was associated with 0.3-fold lower risk of PE. In conclusion, the placental VEGF -2549 DD genotype was associated with severe PE and the placental -634GC and CC genotypes were associated with PE and severe PE. No association was found between VEGF -1154G/A polymorphism and PE or PE severity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and its kinase insert domain receptor (VEGFR2/KDR) were reported to be upregulated in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML); however, the influence of polymorphisms in VEGFA and VEGFR2 in CML pathogenesis and therapeutic response, have not yet been elucidated. METHODS We aimed to analyze these polymorphisms in 212 CML patients and 212 healthy controls by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) approach. RESULTS The VEGFA+936C>T polymorphism did not differ significantly between the CML patients and controls. The frequency of CT genotype was higher in CML patients than in controls (25 vs. 18%), higher in males than in females (29 vs. 18%), was more prevalent in the patients with splenomegaly (p = 0.03), and was negatively associated with lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels (p = 0.01). The frequency of VEGFR2 mutant T-allele was higher in CML patients than controls (p < 0.0001). In the dominant model, patients having the combined AT and TT genotypes were associated with 2.6-fold higher risk of CML [odds ratio (OR) = 2.6, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.71–3.97, p < 0.0001]. VEGFR2 AT genotype was significantly associated with high blast count (p = 0.006), minor hematological response (p = 0.03) and poor cytogenetic response (p = 0.003), indicating its role in therapeutic resistance. In contrast, poor molecular response was observed in patients with TT genotype (p = 0.02). VEGFA+936C>T polymorphism was found to have synergistic interaction with VEGFR2+1416A>T in inflating the risk for CML further (P(interaction) = 0.0002). CONCLUSION Our results indicate that VEGFR2+1416A>T polymorphism may be a useful marker in assessing the disease progression in CML patients. In addition, VEGFA+936C>T was observed to have additive effect in inflating the risk further.

Abstract
Abstract Objectives: to review studies that used case-control design to verify the association of polymorphisms in VEGF and KDR genes in the development of endometriosis. Methods: the systematic review selected articles published until September 1, 2015 from PubMed, MEDLINE, BVS, SciELO databases, considering the following key words: endometriosis and ("polymorphism" or "SNP" or "genetic polymorphism") and ("VEGF" OR "Vascular endothelial growth factor" or "VEGFR-2" or "Vascular endothelial growth factor-2" or "KDR" or "Kinase Insert Domain Receptor"). Results: 106 articles were identified, only 11 were eligible. Discrepant results were observed regarding polymorphisms in VEGF gene in the development of endometriosis, which can be explained by methodological differences, sample size, eligible control type, using the unadjusted risk estimates and the heterogeneity of the studied population. Only one study investigated polymorphisms in KDR gene in the development of endometriosis, however it was ineligible for this review. Conclusions: to avoid discrepancy in the results, we suggest that the ideal control group should be formed by fertile women and free of gynecological diseases. Multicentric studies with adequate design, involving different population besides the combined analysis on polymorphisms in VEGF and KDR genes are still necessary to contribute in the understanding of this disease, which are social, clinical and economical problems.

Abstract
PURPOSE Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) contributes to the development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). A number of studies investigated the association of ROP with VEGF -460 T/C and +936 C/T polymorphisms but the results were conflicting. In order to derive a more precise estimation of the associations, we performed a meta-analysis of the relationship between VEGF -460 T/C and +936 C/T polymorphisms with ROP in all published studies. METHODS A literature search was performed systematically using electronic databases. Published literature from PubMed and other databases was retrieved. The odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to estimate the pooled effect. Each -460 T/C and +936 C/T polymorphism included four case-control studies including case/control 249/308 and 179/250 respectively. RESULTS Through literature search, we found that both VEGF -460 T/C and +936 C/T polymorphisms were not associated with ROP risk at allelic, co-dominant, dominant and recessive models. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis suggests that the VEGF -460 T/C and +936 C/T polymorphism might contribute to genetic susceptibility of ROP. The association between VEGF -460 T/C and +936 C/T polymorphism and ROP risk awaits further investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) involved in angiogenesis (VEGF, PLGF, VEGFR1, VEGFR2, HIF-1α) and plasma levels of the corresponding proteins (VEGF, PLGF, sVEGFR1, sVEGFR2) in women with and without endometriosis. DESIGN Allele frequencies of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway SNPs and plasma levels of the corresponding proteins were investigated in patients with endometriosis and in controls. SETTING University hospital. PATIENT(S) Samples of DNA from 1,931 Caucasian patients were included (1,109 patients with endometriosis and 822 controls). An additional study group included 973 DNA samples from volunteers, self-reported to be healthy without laparoscopic evaluation. INTERVENTION(S) Women who underwent a laparoscopy for subfertility and/or pain and healthy volunteers without laparoscopic evaluation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Functional SNPs of the VEGF, VEGFR1, VEGFR2, HIF-1α genes and Hap Map tagging SNPs of the PLGF gene were genotyped by using iPLEX technology on a Sequenom MassArray and TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assay. The VEGF levels were determined in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid plasma samples by using Bio-Plex Protein Array System. PLGF, sVEGFR1, and sVEGFR2 levels were measured in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid plasma samples by using ELISA Quantikine kits. RESULT(S) A significant association was found between the rs2268613 polymorphism in the PLGF gene and PLGF plasma levels. In all study subjects, women with the AA variant of the rs2268613 PLGF gene had significantly lower PLGF plasma levels (median [interquartile range] 9.36 [8.19-10.43] pg/mL) than those with the AG variant (12.1 [11.81-20.84] pg/mL; P(a)=.0085, P(b)=.04), both before and after multiple testing. Plasma levels of VEGF were elevated in endometriosis patients (especially in minimal-mild endometriosis during the menstrual cycle phase) compared with laparoscopic controls but had a moderate diagnostic performance (area under the curve, 0.73) in this discovery dataset. At a cut-off plasma level of VEGF >3.88 pg/mL, minimal-mild stages of endometriosis were diagnosed with a sensitivity of 74% and a specificity of 80% during the menstrual phase of cycle. The associations between the presence of endometriosis and SNPs in PLGF (rs2268614), HIF-1α (rs11549465), and VEGFR1 (rs9582036) genes lost statistical significance after multiple testing. CONCLUSION(S) Genetic variants in the PLGF rs2268613 gene may influence plasma levels of the corresponding protein. Plasma levels of VEGF were elevated in endometriosis patients compared with controls. The associations between the presence of endometriosis and SNPs in PLGF (rs2268614), HIF-1α (rs11549465), and VEGFR1 (rs9582036) genes lost statistical significance after multiple testing.

Abstract
The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a major angiogenic factor, is known to play an important role in the development of endometriosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of three VEGF (-460 C/T, +405 G/C, and +936 C/T) polymorphisms with the risk of endometriosis in the Tunisian population. This study includes 105 women with endometriosis and 150 women with no laparoscopic evidence of disease. Genotyping of the VEGF -460 C/T, +405 G/C, and +936 C/T polymorphisms were performed by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The distribution of genotypes (P = 0.006) and allele (P = 0.0009) frequencies of the +936 C/T polymorphism was significantly different between patients and controls. Patients with stages III-IV endometriosis showed a higher VEGF + 936T allele frequency than controls (P = 0.0001). However, the distribution of genotypes and allele frequencies of the VEGF -460 C/T and +405 G/C polymorphisms did not differ significantly between endometriosis patients and controls. These findings suggest that the VEGF +936 C/T polymorphism may be a risk factor for endometriosis development and the VEGF +936 T allele is associated with an increased risk of stages III-IV endometriosis in the Tunisian population.

Abstract
The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the most important candidate genes for the development of endometriosis, and VEGF genetic polymorphisms might be potentially associated with endometriosis risk. However, the results still remain controversial. The objective of this study aimed to perform a comprehensive meta-analysis to explore a better understanding of the effects of VEGF +405G>C genetic polymorphism on the risk of endometriosis. A total of eleven eligible studies were eventually identified in this meta-analysis, including 2829 endometriosis cases and 2947 controls. In the overall analysis, no significant association between the VEGF +405G>C genetic polymorphism and the risk of endometriosis was detected in all genetic models (for homozygote comparison [CC versus vs. GG]: OR = 1.21, 95% CI 0.67-2.19, P = 0.537; for heterozygote comparison [CG vs. GG]: OR = 1.16, 95% CI 0.86-1.56, P = 0.348; for dominant comparison CC/CG vs. GG: OR = 1.10, 95% CI 0.93-1.30, P = 0.263; for recessive comparison [CC vs. CG/GG]: OR = 1.03, 95% CI 0.73-1.47, P = 0.857; allele comparison [C vs. G]: OR = 0.99, 95% CI 0.70-1.40, P = 0.962). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicities, there was no significant association between VEGF +405G>C genetic polymorphism and endometriosis risk in Asians and/or Caucasians under all genetic models (all P-values >0.05). No publication bias was observed in this study. This meta-analysis supports that the VEGF +405G>C genetic polymorphism is not significant associated with the risk of endometriosis.

Abstract
Background Endometriosis is regarded as a complex and heterogeneous disease in which genetic and environmental factors contribute to the phenotype. The Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) plays important roles in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The present study was aimed at investigating the contribution of VEGF polymorphisms as risk factors for the development of endometriosis. This is the first study to evaluate the combined influence of the five most common VEGF polymorphisms. Methods This study was conducted at two hospitals from the Brazilian public health system, and comprised 294 women submitted to laparoscopic or laparotomy surgery: 182 patients had a histologically confirmed diagnosis of endometriosis (cases), whereas 112 had no evidence of the disease (controls). The VEGF polymorphisms were determined by TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction. The odds ratio (OR) with their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using an unconditional logistic regression model. Results Endometriosis patients and controls did not differ regarding age distribution, whereas the body mass index was significantly lower in endometriosis patients, when compared with controls (23.1 ± 3.9 versus 27.3 ± 5.9, P < 0.001). The evaluation of gynecological symptoms, including dysmenorrhea, non-cyclic chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia and infertility, indicates significantly higher prevalences among endometriosis cases. The variant allele -1154A was significantly associated with endometriosis, either considering all cases (OR: 1.90, 95% CI: 1.23–2.97), deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) (OR: 1.83, 95% CI: 1.16-2.90) or moderate and severe endometriosis (stages III-IV) (OR: 1.97, 95% CI: 1.21-3.19). No significant differences were found in allele or genotype distributions of the –2578C > A, -460 T > C, +405G > C and +936C > T polymorphisms between endometriosis cases and controls. A total of six haplotypes were inferred derived from four polymorphisms (-2578C > A, -460 T > C, -1154G > A and +405G > C). There was a protective association between CCGG haplotype and endometriosis, either considering all cases (OR: 0.36, 95% CI: 0.15–0.86), DIE (OR: 0.37 95% CI: 0.15 – 0.90) or stages III-IV (OR: 0.35 95% CI: 0.13 – 0.95). Conclusions The present results indicate a positive association between VEGF -1154G > A and the risk of developing endometriosis, whereas the CCGG haplotype may be protective against the development of disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To follow-up previous studies highlighting a possible role for cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily C, 19 (CYP2C19) in susceptibility to endometriosis by searching for additional variants in the CYP2C19 gene that may be associated with the disease. DESIGN Case-control study. SETTING Academic research. SUBJECT(S) The cases comprised 2,271 women with surgically confirmed endometriosis; the controls comprised 939 women with self-report of no endometriosis and 1,770 unscreened population samples. INTERVENTION(S) Sequencing of the CYP2C19 region and follow-up of 80 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in two case-control samples. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Allele frequency differences between cases and controls. RESULT(S) Sequencing of the CYP2C19 gene region resulted in the detection of a large number of known and novel SNPs. Genotyping of 80 polymorphic SNPs in 901 endometriosis cases and 939 controls resulted in study-wide significant association signals for SNPs in moderate or complete linkage disequilibrium with rs4244285, a functional SNP in exon 5 that abrogates CYP2C19 function through the creation of an alternative splice site. Evidence of association was also detected for another functional SNP in the CYP2C19 promoter, rs12248560, which was highlighted in our previous study. CONCLUSION(S) Functional variants in CYP2C19 may contribute to endometriosis susceptibility in both familial and sporadic cases.

Abstract
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease defined as the presence of the endometrium outside the uterine cavity. Endometriosis is a multifactorial and polygenic disease in which angiogenesis may be implicated. Angiogenesis is under the control of numerous inducers, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Many studies have reported that VEGF plays a role in the progression of the disease, but individually published studies showed inconclusive results. We investigated the association between VEGF polymorphisms and the susceptibility to endometriosis. The MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and CBM databases were searched for all articles published up to June 25, 2012, which addressed VEGF polymorphisms and endometriosis risk. We investigated the potential association between VEGF polymorphisms and the risk of endometriosis. Fourteen studies were included with a total of 3313 endometriosis cases and 3393 healthy controls. Meta-analysis results showed that the rs699947 (A>C) and rs1570360 (G>A) polymorphisms in the VEGF gene were associated with a decreased risk of endometriosis, while rs3025039 (C>T) might increase the risk of endometriosis. However, the rs833061 (T>C) and rs2010963 (G>C) polymorphisms of the VEGF gene did not appear to have an influence on endometriosis susceptibility. Results from the meta-analysis suggest that the rs3025039 (C>T) polymorphism of the VEGF gene increases the risk of endometriosis, but the rs699947 (A>C) and rs1570360 (G>A) polymorphisms might be protective factors for endometriosis.

Abstract
Published data on the association between the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene -460C/T (rs833061), +405G/C (rs2010963), +936T/C (rs3025039) polymorphisms and endometriosis risk are inconclusive. Eleven eligible case-control studies including 2690 cases and 2803 controls were included in this meta-analysis through searching the databases of PubMed and CBMdisc (up to August 1, 2011). In the overall analysis, no significant association between the -460C/T and +405G/C polymorphisms and risk of endometriosis was observed. However, significant associations were observed between endometriosis risk and VEGF+936T polymorphism with summarized odds ratio of 1.19 (95%CI, 1.02-1.37), 1.18 (95%CI, 1.03-1.37), 1.15 (95%CI, 1.01-1.30) for CT versus CC genotype, dominant mode (CT/TT vs. CC) and allele comparison (T vs. C), respectively. Furthermore, stratified analysis showed that significantly strong association between +936T/C polymorphism and endometriosis was present only in stage III-IV (OR = 1.32 for dominant mode; OR = 1.30 for T vs. C), but not in stage I-II. However, no significantly increased risk of endometriosis was found in any of the genetic models in Asians or in Caucasians. This meta-analysis supports that VEGF+936T/C polymorphism is capable of causing endometriosis susceptibility.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of the present study was to assess the role of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) -2549 insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in susceptibility to sporadic breast cancer. METHODS DNA samples of 94 breast cancer patients and 94 unrelated healthy control individuals with matched age and gender from the same geographical region of Punjab, North West India were screened for the -2549 I/D polymorphism. Serum VEGF-C (sVEGF-C) levels of breast cancer patients and healthy controls were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS The frequency of the II, ID, and DD genotype was 23.40 versus 10.64%, 48.94 versus 52.13%, and 27.66 versus 37.23%, in patients and controls, respectively. A statistically significant difference was observed for genotype distribution among the patients and controls (χ(2)=6.039, p=0.049). There was a significant increase in the I allele frequency in the patients as compared with controls (47.86 versus 36.70%, p=0.028). The sVEGF-C levels were also considerably higher in patients as compared to healthy controls (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS The VEGF -2549 I/D polymorphism has a role in the susceptibility to breast cancer in the Amritsar region of Punjab, India.

Abstract
Programmed cell death 6 (PDCD6), a calcium binding protein of the penta EF-hand protein family, and its receptors are involved in regulation of apoptosis pathways. To evaluate the relationship between genetic polymorphisms of PDCD6 gene and endometriosis (ED) risk, we investigated the association of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of PDCD6 gene (rs4957014 and rs3756712) in 220 endometriosis patients and 386 unrelated healthy controls. The genotypes of these two SNPs were determined by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and DNA sequencing methods. Significantly increased endometriosis risk was observed to be associated with G allele of rs4957014 locus (OR=1.31, 95% CI=1.03-1.69). We have also observed increased ED risk was statistically associated with rs4957014 polymorphism in a dominant model (OR=1.52, 95% CI=1.09-2.13). Although no association has been found between ED risk and the allele frequencies of rs3756712 locus (a marginal P=0.066, OR=1.27, 95% CI=0.98-1.65), but in a dominant model, increased endometriosis risk was significantly associated with rs3756712 polymorphism (OR=1.54, 95% CI=1.11-2.17). In conclusion, the current study indicates that PDCD6 gene may be a new susceptibility gene to endometriosis.

Hum Immunol 2012; 74:98-103. [PMID: 23073296 DOI: 10.1016/j.humimm.2012.10.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2012] [Revised: 09/14/2012] [Accepted: 10/03/2012] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a central role in promoting angiogenesis and is over-expressed in renal cell cancer (RCC). Published data on the association between polymorphisms of vascular endothelial growth factor (e.g., -2578C/A [rs699947], -460T/C [rs833061], +405C/G [rs2010963], and +936C/T [rs3025039]) and the risk of renal cell carcinoma are ambiguous and controversial. The aim of this investigation was to investigate this relationship in a series of Caucasian Spanish patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A case-control study was performed with 216 cases and 280 controls, genotyping subjects for VEGF polymorphisms using the predesigned TaqMan single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping assay (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA). The combined effect of the four gene polymorphisms on overall survival was studied by haplotype analysis. RESULTS The overall results suggest that polymorphisms or haplotypes in the VEGF gene do not modify the risk of RCC. We were unable to replicate the association of the -460T/C (rs833061) polymorphism with renal cancer risk. Data were also gathered on clinical-pathological results, tumor size, clinical stage, histological grade, and survival. CONCLUSIONS According to our analysis of their contribution to prognostic factors, VEGF polymorphisms do not appear to exert a significant influence on RCC progression or prognosis. This finding might be explained by the tumor biology and pathogenesis of clear cell RCC. Additional studies with larger sample sizes are needed in different ethnic groups to further assess this association.

Abstract
Endometriosis is a complex disease arising from the interplay between multiple genetic and environmental factors. The genetic variants potentially underlying the hereditary component of endometriosis have been widely investigated through hypothesis-driven candidate gene studies, an approach that generally has proven to be inherently difficult and problematic for a number of reasons. Recently, through major collaborative efforts in the endometriosis research field, hypothesis-free genome-wide approaches have started to provide new insights into potential pathways leading to development of endometriosis, as well as highlighting the phenotypic heterogeneity of the condition. This review summarizes the most recent studies investigating the genetic variation contributing to endometriosis, with a particular focus on genome-wide approaches, and discusses promising future directions of genetic research.

Abstract
The Norfolk Island population in the South Pacific is primarily the product of recent admixture between a small number of British male and Polynesian female founders. We identified and genotyped 128 Ancestry Informative Markers (AIMs) spread across the autosomes, X/Y chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA genome, to explore and quantify the current levels of genetic admixture in the Norfolk Islanders. On the basis of autosomal AIMs, the population shows mean European and Polynesian ancestry proportions of 88 and 12%, respectively. However, there is a substantial variation between individuals ranging from total European ancestry to near total Polynesian origin. There is a strong correlation between individual genetic estimates of Polynesian ancestry and those derived from the extensive pedigree and genealogical records of Islanders. Also in line with historical accounts, there is a substantial asymmetry in the maternal and paternal origins of the Islanders with almost all Y-chromosomes of European origin whereas at least 25% of mtDNAs appear to have a Polynesian origin. Accurate knowledge of ancestry will be important in future attempts to use the Island population in admixture mapping approaches to find the genes that underlie differences in the risk to some diseases between Europeans and Polynesians.
