Significant evidence of one or more susceptibility loci for endometriosis with near-Mendelian inheritance on chromosome 7p13–15
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/del446

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common disease with a heritable component. The collaborative International Endogene Study consists of two data sets (Oxford and Australia) comprising 1176 families with multiple affected. The aim was to invest…

Multivariate Genetic Analysis of Chronic Pelvic Pain and Associated Phenotypes
Behavior genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10519-004-1017-6
article 2005
Multivariate Genetic Analysis of Chronic Pelvic Pain and Associated Phenotypes.” Behavior Genetics 35: 177-188. 216 John Mattison (“Matt”) Bradshaw grew up in Fort Worth, Texas, where he graduated from Haltom Senior High School. He obtained a B.S. degree

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a common condition in women that is difficult to diagnose. Although heritability estimates have been published for some conditions potentially under-lying pelvic pain, the heritability of CPP itself has never be…

Familial aggregation of endometriosis in a large pedigree of rhesus macaques
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deh052

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis occurs in several non-human primate species that have menstrual cycles. This study investigated the prevalence and familial aggregation of endometriosis in one of those species, the rhesus macaque. METHODS: Betwee…

What makes a good case–control study?
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/17.6.1415

The combined investigation of environmental and genetic risk-factors in complex traits will refocus attention on the case-control study. Endometriosis is an example of a complex trait for which most case-control studies have not followed th…

review 2001
The genetic basis of endometriosis
Current opinion in obstetrics & gynecology ·doi:10.1097/00001703-200106000-00011

Family studies have long suggested a role for genetic factors in the aetiology of endometriosis. The influence of genes on disease development has mainly been researched independently of environmental factors, yet their interaction must pla…
