The Department of Biology Discusses a Doctoral Thesis on Studying Some Physiological and Biochemical Criteria and the Effect of Polymorphism of the ER-α Gene in Women with Uterine Fibrosis in the Holy Governorate of Kerbala

Discussion of a Doctoral Thesis

The Department of Biology at the College of Education for Pure Sciences at the University of Kerbala discussed a doctoral thesis entitled (Studying Some Physiological and Biochemical Criteria and the Effect of Polymorphism (397pvuII, 351xbaI) of the ER-α gene in Women with Uterine Fibrosis in Holy Kerbala) by the student (Thanaa Abdel-Sada Khaddam), under the supervision of (Prof. Dr. Yasmine Khader Khalaf as first supervisor, and (Asst. Prof. Dr. Hiba Alwan Abdel Salam) as second supervisor.
The thesis aimed to study this topic due to the increase in cases of uterine fibroids to know the effect of uterine fibroids on some physiological parameters (PRG, E, LH, FSH) and hormonal receptors for estrogen and progesterone.
The thesis recommended studying the polymorphism of the ER-α gene in more than one governorate to obtain large population groups to ensure the recurrence of genetic patterns and studying the polymorphism of the progesterone receptor gene PR to know the extent of its effect on the incidence of uterine fibroids and measuring the level of vitamin D periodically because its deficiency is a risk factor for the incidence of uterine fibroids. The student received an excellent grade.
