Abstract
The objective was to study the relationship between the polymorphisms of the DNA repair gene XRCC1 Arg399Gln, Arg194Trp, and Arg280His uterine leiomyoma in a Chinese population. In the case-control study, we compared the XRCC1 gene polymorphism of 136 uterine leiomyoma patients and 140 healthy controls by using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The results suggested that the genotype Arg/Arg of codon 280 was significantly different from its heterozygote (odds ratio [OR] = 3.633, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.147-6.148). In conclusion, the results suggest that polymorphism of XRCC1 Arg280His was associated with the increased risk of uterine leiomyoma in a Chinese population.Entities:
