Common variation in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 gene is not associated with endometriosis risk
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/den035

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a polygenic disease with a complex and multifactorial aetiology that affects 8-10% of women of reproductive age. Epidemiological data support a link between endometriosis and cancers of the reproductive tract. F…

Polymorphisms in the vascular endothelial growth factor gene and the risk of familial endometriosis

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an endothelial cell-specific angiogenic protein suspected to be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis by establishing a new blood supply to the human exfoliated endometrium. Several trans…

Genetic variation in tumour necrosis factor and lymphotoxin is not associated with endometriosis in an Australian sample
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/dem182

BACKGROUND: Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) is a pleiotropic cytokine with a wide range of immunoregulatory effects. Variation in the promoter region of TNF and the neighbouring lymphotoxin alpha (LTA) gene might be associated with endometrios…
