| Resumo | |
Endometriosis (EDT) is an inflammatory disease characterized by implantation/growth of endometrial tissue, glands, and/or stroma, outside the uterus. Reduced NK cell cytotoxic activity has been implicated in its pathogenesis, together with other immunologic alterations. We investigated the influence ofKIRgene polymorphisms and their HLA ligand combinations in deep endometriosis (DE) susceptibility. One hundred sixty women with a histological diagnosis of DE and 202 control women without the disease, who underwent laparoscopy, were enrolled. The DE group was subdivided into initial (I/II;n = 60) and advanced stages (III/IV,n = 100).KIRand HLA class I gene polymorphisms were typed by PCR-SSP and sequence-based-typing (SBT), respectively. We observed a significant association ofKIR2DL2, an inhibitory gene of B haplotype, conferring risk for DE in Euro-descendants. Positive associations of Bx haplotype and centromeric AB segments were also found. However, no association with KIR-HLA ligand combination was observed. Our data suggestKIR2DL2gene to be a relevant factor favoring NK inhibition in DE in Euro-descendants, contributing to the defective NK cytotoxic activity and impaired clearance of ectopic endometrial cells in the disease.
