BACKGROUND: The remarkable growth of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) has created a critical need to experimentally validate the disease-associated variants, 90% of which involve non-coding variants. METHODS: To determine how the fie…
Endometriosis is a complex gynecological disorder. The diagnostic process of endometriosis involves an invasive procedure thus delaying the diagnosis for about 10 years on average. Both DNA-methylation data and RNA-seq data has the potentia…
OBJECTIVE: To characterize multigenerational gene expression anomalies in eight-cell stage embryos associated with developmental exposure to endometriosis. DESIGN: Using an endometriosis model in rats (F0 founder generation) to evaluate ge…
OBJECTIVE: To define the altered gene expression profile of endometriotic lesions in a mouse model of surgically induced endometriosis. DESIGN: Autologous experimental mouse model. SETTING: Medical school department. ANIMAL(S): Adult C57…
