The genetic basis of endometriosis and comorbidity with other pain and inflammatory conditions
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/s41588-023-01323-z

Endometriosis is a common condition associated with debilitating pelvic pain and infertility. A genome-wide association study meta-analysis, including 60,674 cases and 701,926 controls of European and East Asian descent, identified 42 genom…

Genetic overlap analysis of endometriosis and asthma identifies shared loci implicating sex hormones and thyroid signalling pathways
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deab254

STUDY QUESTION: Is there a shared genetic or causal association of endometriosis with asthma or what biological mechanisms may underlie their potential relationships? SUMMARY ANSWER: Our results confirm a significant but non-causal associat…

Genetic analysis of endometriosis and depression identifies shared loci and implicates causal links with gastric mucosa abnormality
Human genetics ·doi:10.1007/s00439-020-02223-6

Evidence from observational studies indicates that endometriosis and depression often co-occur. However, conflicting evidence exists, and the etiology as well as biological mechanisms underlying their comorbidity remain unknown. Utilizing g…

Large-scale genome-wide association study in a Japanese population identifies novel susceptibility loci across different diseases.
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/s41588-020-0640-3

The overwhelming majority of participants in current genetic studies are of European ancestry. To elucidate disease biology in the East Asian population, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) with 212,453 Japanese individuals …

Meta-analysis identifies five novel loci associated with endometriosis highlighting key genes involved in hormone metabolism
Nature communications ·doi:10.1038/ncomms15539

Endometriosis is a heritable hormone-dependent gynecological disorder, associated with severe pelvic pain and reduced fertility; however, its molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here we perform a meta-analysis of 11 genome-wide ass…

article 2010
A genome-wide association study identifies genetic variants in the CDKN2BAS locus associated with endometriosis in Japanese
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/ng.612

Although the pathogenesis of endometriosis is not well understood, genetic factors have been considered to have critical roles in its etiology. Through a genome-wide association study and a replication study using a total of 1,907 Japanese …
