BACKGROUND Endometriosis is a common benign gynaecological disease. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated associations between endometriosis and ovarian cancer. Recent genome-wide association studies of ovarian cancer have identified several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Basonuclin 2 (BNC2) gene. In this study, we investigated these polymorphism in women with endometriosis. METHODS Six SNPs in and upstream of the BNC2 gene (rs3814113, rs4445329, rs10962656, rs12379183, rs10756819 and rs1339552) were investigated using TaqMan allelic discrimination analysis in a Caucasian population (cases: 798, controls: 351). Allelic frequencies were used as main outcome measure. RESULTS No associations were observed between the analysed SNPs and endometriosis. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that the analysed polymorphisms in the BNC2 gene are unlikely to contribute to the previously reported risk of ovarian cancer in women with endometriosis.
