Systematic review and meta-analysis of articles published fully in the PubMed database, in Portuguese, English, or Spanish, from 2006 to 2017, using the descriptors: ¡°endometriosis,¡± ¡°polymorphism,¡± ¡°ESR1,¡± ¡°ESR2,¡± ¡°PROGINS,¡± ¡°rs9340799,¡± ¡°rs4986938,¡± and ¡°rs1042838.¡± A total of 20 studies were included based on the criterion of search for susceptibility to endometriosis related to polymorphisms of estrogen receptor alpha, estrogen receptor beta, and progesterone receptor genes. Analysis of all polymorphisms found no association with endometriosis. This meta-analysis showed that estrogen receptor alpha, estrogen receptor beta, and progesterone receptor polymorphisms are not related to susceptibility to endometriosis. However, such results may be able to provide more detailed interpretations of how they influence the pathogenesis of endometriosis %K Endometriosis %K genetic polymorphism %K estrogen receptor alpha %K estrogen receptor beta %K progesterone receptor %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2284026518819516
