Regulatory Effects of Endometriosis-Associated Genetic Variants: A Multi-Tissue eQTL Analysis
Diseases (Basel, Switzerland) ·doi:10.3390/diseases13080248

BACKGROUD: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease characterized by the ectopic presence of endometrial-like tissue. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified susceptibility variants, their …

Association of TP53 gene codon 72 polymorphism with endometriosis in Mexican women
Genetics and molecular research : GMR ·doi:10.4238/2012.may.15.10

The TP53 tumor suppressor gene plays an important role in cell cycle regulation; polymorphisms of this gene have been associated with endometriosis. We examined the role of TP53 codon 72 polymorphism by comparing genotypes of 235 healthy Me…

The TP53 16-bp Duplication Polymorphism Is Enriched in Endometriosis Patients
Gynecologic and obstetric investigation ·doi:10.1159/000330702

BACKGROUND/AIM: The TP53 tumor suppressor gene encodes the nuclear phosphoprotein p53, which plays an important role in cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, DNA repair and angiogenesis. The TP53 gene contains common genetic polymorphisms that …
