A literature survey was conducted in PubMed using the terms “genetic polymorphism and endometriosis”. Inclusion criteria were: English, free full text and published in the last three years (2014‐2016). Items not directly related to the subject were excluded by reading the title or abstract, and review articles. 35 articles were identified and 14 were included in this review. There was a predominance of articles published in 2015 (50%), conducted in Brazil (43%) and most of them were published in journals with impact factor up to 2.5. There was heterogeneity in the investigated genes with a small emphasis on those classified as metabolic enzymes. Half of the researches associated the polymorphisms that were being investigated with endometriosis, indicating that they may be implicated in the pathogenesis of this disease. In conclusion, the scientific production is growing and it is significant on the role of genetic polymorphisms in the etiology of endometriosis.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101073,"journal":{"name":"Reprodu??o & Climatério","volume":"32 1","pages":"Pages 48-52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.recli.2016.10.003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127723329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The majority are unrecognized occurring before or with the expected next menses. About 10–12 percent of all clinically diagnosed pregnancies are lost as first-trimester or early second trimester. The rate of fetal death after 14 weeks’ gestation is much lower than the rate of pre-embryonic and embryonic loss. CA125 is a member of the mucin family glycoproteins. CA125 has found application as a tumor marker or biomarker that its level may be increased in the serum of some patients with specific types of cancers. Some studies detected that the abortion risk is increased in pregnant women with higher CA125 levels. Progesterone belongs to the C21 group of progestogen.
