This study was aimed to explore the correlation between catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene polymorphisms and endometriosis susceptibility in Chinese Han population. This case-control study recruited 134 endometriosis patients and 139 healthy individuals. COMT gene rs4680, rs2020917, and rs4646312 polymorphisms in the subjects were genotyped by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Association between COMT polymorphisms and endometriosis susceptibility was evaluated by x(2) test and adjusted by Logistic regression. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to present the relative risk of endometriosis. A allele of rs4680 was distinctly correlated with increased susceptibility of endometriosis (OR = 1.450, 95% CI = 1.012-2.076). However, when adjusted by the confounding factors, these associations become not significant. We failed to find any significant association between rs2020917 and endometriosis risk in the crude results. The adjusted results suggested that rs2020917 TT genotype and T allele were distinctly correlated with enhanced endometriosis risk (TT vs CC: P = .038, OR = 2.894, 95% CI = 1.060-7.903; T vs C: P = .039, OR = 1.481, 95% CI = 1.021-2.149). Besides, rs4646312C allele was significantly correlated with endometriosis risk both in the crude (P = .027, OR = 1.502, 95% CI = 1.047-2.154) and adjusted (P = .019, OR = 1.564, 95% CI = 1.078-2.269) results. COMT polymorphisms might predict the occurrence of endometriosis.
