摘要: Background: Uterine leiomyoma (ULM) is one of the most common medical conditions where molecular pathogenesis in women still unknown. Objectives: The aim present investigation was to demonstrate association between catechol-methyltransferase (COMT) (rs4680 G>A) gene polymorphism with risk ULM. Methods: In case-control study we included 200 peripheral blood samples women, which consisted 100 ULM and who were healthy. genotype frequencies assessed using polymerase chain reaction - restriction fragment length (PCR-RFLP) method. Results: COMT (rs4680) AA + GG vs. GA revealed a significant (OR = 2.453; CI 1.274 4.723, P 0.006). Conclusions: findings suggested that may be contributed as predisposing factor
