We conducted a genome-wide association meta-analysis of 4,604 endometriosis cases and 9,393 controls of Japanese and European ancestry. We show that rs12700667 on chromosome 7p15.2, previously found to associate with disease in Europeans, r…

While the fields of diagnosis of the SARS-CoV-2 infection by medical image processing and its dissemination pattern through machine learning have been sufficiently studied, some areas such as treatment outcome in patients and drug developme…

Endometriosis is a complex disease arising from the interplay between multiple genetic and environmental factors. The genetic variants potentially underlying the hereditary component of endometriosis have been widely investigated through hy…

The etiology of endometriosis is poorly understood, and few modifiable risk factors have been identified. Dairy foods and some nutrients can modulate inflammatory and immune factors, which are altered in women with endo-metriosis. We invest…

STUDY QUESTIONDo higher leptin levels and lower adiponectin levels predict subsequent development of endometriosis?

Radiating leg pain is a common symptom presenting in manual therapy practices. Although this symptom has been reported as a complication of endometriosis, its prevalence and characteristics have not been studied. We surveyed members of a na…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease associated with pelvic pain and subfertility. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 3,194 individuals with surgically confirmed endometriosis (cases) and 7,060 controls from A…

Endometriosis affects 6% to 10% of women of reproductive age. Previous studies have demonstrated that risk of this disease is influenced by genetic factors; the estimated heritability is about 51%. Genome-wide association studies have inves…

Abstract Endometriosis is a gynaecological disease that affects 6–10% of women of reproductive age. Symptoms vary but commonly include severe menstrual and pelvic pain and infertility, all of which can have major impacts on the lives of aff…

ObjectiveThe purpose of this prospective study was to study the association between rotating nightshift work and endometriosis risk within the Nurses' Health Study II.Study designWe found 89,400 women without diagnosed endometriosis at base…

The scientific literature on endometriosis specific to the adolescent population is limited, and the existing data are retrospective and descriptive in nature. It is possible that the disease has a different pathophysiology in adolescents, …

Study objectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of norethindrone acetate (NA) as single-agent hormonal therapy for suppression of endometriosis symptoms in adolescents and young adults.DesignRetrospective study.SettingTwo academic …

Endometriosis is a common gynaecological disease associated with severe pelvic pain and sub-fertility. There is considerable debate whether different endometriosis stages represent disease progression, or whether moderate-severe (rAFS III/I…
