Genetic factors contribute to the risk of developing endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/17.3.555

Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(01)02862-x

ObjectiveTo investigate a possible association between the carrier frequency of the N314D mutation in the galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT) gene and endometriosis and linkage to the short arm of chromosome 9, where the GALT ge…
