Objective To study the correlation between PTEN gene polymorphisms and endometriosis (EMS). Methods PTEN ⅣS4 polymorphisms in 86 EMS patients and 64 healthy controls were analyzed by polymerase chain reactionrestriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Results The frequency of wild PTEN ⅣS4 (-/-),heterozygous PTEN ⅣS4 (-/+)
and mutant PTEN ⅣS4 (+/+) was 11.6%,83.7%,4.7% respectively in EMS patients and 10.9%,73.5%,15.6% respectively in healthy controls. The frequency of alleles (- and +) was 53.5% and 46.5% respectively in EMS patients and 47.7%,52.3% respectively in controls (P0.05).The risk of developing EMS was lower in patients carrying mutant PTEN ⅣS4 (+/+) than in those carrying wild PTEN ⅣS4 (-/-)
