The possible role of genetic variants in autoimmune-related genes in the development of endometriosis
Human immunology ·doi:10.1016/j.humimm.2011.12.009

Numerous hypotheses have been put forward to explain the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue and stroma. The immune system participates in the homeostasis of the peritoneal cavity, and modifications in its functioning have been advanced …

Association of FCRL3 −169T/C polymorphism with endometriosis and identification of a protective haplotype against the development of the disease in Brazilian population
Human immunology ·doi:10.1016/j.humimm.2011.05.005

An aberrant immunologic mechanism has been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Fc receptor-like 3 gene (FCRL3) has been proposed as a novel autoimmune predisposing factor. The authors have hypothesized a possible …

article 2011
Association of FCRL3 C-169T promoter single-nucleotide polymorphism with idiopathic infertility and infertility-related endometriosis
Journal of Reproductive Immunology ·doi:10.1016/j.jri.2011.02.007

An aberrant immunological mechanism is thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The present study aimed to determine whether there is a relationship between endometriosis and/or infertility and the FCRL3 C-169T polymorph…
