摘要： 目的通过检测和比较子宫内膜异位症（EMS）孕妇有无补充叶酸其女性胎儿脐血EMS易感基因HOXA10启动区CpG岛
甲基化状态，探讨叶酸优化宫内环境的作用。方法收集标本2010年1月~2012年12月21例患有EMS孕妇服用和15例未服用
叶酸的女性胎儿脐血标本，利用甲基化特异性聚合酶链反应（MSP）及亚硫酸氢盐修饰后测序（BSP）检测和比较各组HOXA10
的甲基化率。结果补充叶酸组女性胎儿EMS易感基因HOXA10甲基化率显著降低，两组差异有统计学意义（P<0.05）。结论
提示叶酸在预防胎源性EMS易感基因HOXA10异常甲基化中可能起一定作用。

Abstract: Objective To detect aberrant methylation in the promoter region of fetal endometriosis susceptibility gene
homeobox-10 (HOXA10) in women with and without folic acid supplementation and explore the effect of folic acid in
optimizing intrauterine environment. Methods Thirty-six cord blood specimens were collected between January, 2010 and
December, 2012 from pregnant women with endometriosis, including 22 with folic acid treatment and 15 without.
Methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP) and bisulfite salt modified sequencing (BSP) were employed to detect
aberrant methylation of HOXA10 gene in these specimens. Results The methylation rate of HOXA10 gene differed
significantly between pregnant women with endometriosis taking folic acid and those who did (P<0.05). Conclusion Folic acid
treatment can significantly reduce the methylation rate of fetal endometriosis susceptibility gene HOXA10.
