This is the first guidelines for adenomyosis from the Asian Society of Endometriosis and Adenomyosis.

Study objectiveTo investigate the association between the androgen receptor (AR) cytosine, adenine, and guanine (CAG) repeat polymorphisms and endometriosis.Study designA prospective case-control, genetic association study was performed on …

OBJECTIVE: fertilization (IVF) outcomes between women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) after endometrioma operation and women with DOR without ovarian surgery. METHODS: This retrospective case-control study included 124 women aged unde…

ObjectiveWe studied the association between sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) and several clinical in vitro fertilization outcomes.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed 169 consecutive fresh IVF cycles. Semen was collected on the day of oocyte ret…

ObjectiveTo investigate whether specific genetic polymorphisms in the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2B antisense RNA (CDKN2B-AS) gene and near the wingless-type MMTV integration site family member 4 (WNT4) gene are associated with endom…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of laparoscopic surgery on the natural conception rate in infertile women with endometriosis during the first year after the operation. METHODS: We retrospectively studied 43 infertile women with surg…

ObjectiveGenetic factors are known to be associated with the development and progression of endometriosis, but the genes related to endometriosis have not been defined. Insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) are believed to be…

ObjectivesTo determine if specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) gene were meaningful markers for the risk of advanced stage endometriosis in a Korean population.Study designCase-contr…

The aim of this study is to evaluate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its soluble receptor (sFlt-1) in peritoneal fluid (PF), peritoneal endometriotic lesions and eutopic endometrial tissues of patients with e…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the relationship between endometriosis and polymorphisms in insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and IGF-I receptor genes. STUDY DESIGN: In a case-control study, 128 women with endometriosis and 108 control women were…

ObjectiveThere are limited data regarding the significance of elevated serum CA-125 level during IUI cycles, even though it is used widely during the initial evaluation of infertile patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the pro…

ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of single port transumbilical laparoscopic surgery (SPLS) for the treatment of adnexal lesions.MethodsWe have performed SPLS to treat adnexal lesions using a single thre…

PROBLEM: To investigate whether the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-γ2 Pro12Ala polymorphism is associated with a risk of advanced-stage endometriosis in a Korean population. METHODS OF STUDY: Case-control study in a colle…

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility that the K469E and G241R polymorphisms in the intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) gene and the C-634G polymorphism in the interleukin (IL)-6 gene are associate…

PROBLEM: To investigate whether the glutathione-S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) exon 5 polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to advanced stage endometriosis in Korean women. METHOD OF STUDY: Case-control study in a collective of 260 pati…

ObjectiveTo investigate whether the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) gene -509 C/T polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to advanced-stage endometriosis.DesignCase-control study.SettingUniversity department of obstetrics …

BACKGROUND: Altered expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) has been reported to be involved in the development of endometriosis. The genotypes of eNOS gene (NOS3) may be responsible for variation in its enzymatic activity as…

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential association of the C627T polymorphism in the interleukin-2 receptor beta gene (IL-2R beta) with the risk of endometriosis in Korean women. METHODS: Two hundred and thirt…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, causing diverse diseases, including infertility, pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and constipation. While there is a growing body of evidence that gene…

BACKGROUND: This study was performed to investigate whether specific haplotypes and several single nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter region of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha gene are associated with the risk of advanced stage …

Angiogenin, a potent inducer of angiogenesis, is expressed in human endometrium. This study was performed to compare the expression of angiogenin mRNA level in the eutopic endometrium from women with and without endometriosis. Thirty-two wo…

ObjectiveTo analyze the influence of postoperative GnRH agonist treatment on disease recurrence after conservative laparoscopic surgery for ovarian endometriomas according to duration of the treatment.DesignRetrospective cohort study.Settin…

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the associations between endometriosis and the G(-2518)A polymorphism of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), and serum and peritoneal fluid MCP-1 levels in Korean women. STUDY DESIGN: The G(-2518)A polymorphi…
