Özet

Aim: Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is among the most common gynecological diseases in young women presenting to emergency department. It has been shown that cytokines played roles in PD pathogenesis. Interleukin-4 (IL-4), a cytokine, regulates multiple biological functions. The objective of the present study was to examine possible relationship between IL-4 variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism and susceptibility to PD.
