Th1/Th2 Cytokine Gene Polymorphisms in Patients With Uterine Fibroid.

Abstract

Uterine fibroid or leiomyoma is a frequent non-malignant tumour with unknown aetiology and pathogenesis. The aim of our study was to look for possible genetic markers which could be used as prognostic tools for evaluation of an increased risk for development of uterine fibroid.
