Objective:  Although polymorphisms of adiponectin gene ( ADIPOQ ) in obesity-related conditions have been the target of research efforts, little is known about this genetic marker in uterine leiomyomas. The aim of this pilot study was to analyze the frequencies of alleles and genotypes of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism  ADIPOQ  (NM_004797.4):c.214+62G&amp;gt;T (rs1501299) and to correlate it with the risk of uterine fibroids.   Study Design:  The Test Group comprised 90 women treated surgically for uterine leiomyomas in the Department of Operative Gynecology, Endoscopy and Gynecologic Oncology, Polish Mother’s Memorial Hospital-Research Institute. 90 disease-free individuals were used as Controls. Patients within both groups were additionally stratified into lean, overweight and obese, according to Body Mass Index. Statistical analysis was performed between the two major groups and, furthermore, within the abovementioned subgroups.   Results:  The study revealed no statistically significant differences in the distribution of alleles and genotypes of SNP  ADIPOQ  (NM_004797.4):c.214+62G&amp;gt;T (rs1501299) between the two main groups. A weak correlation within distributions of alleles was observed between obese Test Patients and lean Controls.   Conclusion:  This pilot study has revealed no association between SNP  ADIPOQ  (NM_004797.4):c.214+62G&amp;gt;T (rs1501299) and uterine fibroids. Further studies on larger groups are warranted to elucidate whether this SNP may be correlated with uterine leiomyomas.
