Fibromuscular differentiation in deeply infiltrating endometriosis is a reaction of resident fibroblasts to the presence of ectopic endometrium
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/den153

BACKGROUND: In this study, we characterized the fibromuscular (FM) tissue, typical of deeply infiltrating endometriosis, investigated which cells are responsible for the FM reaction and evaluated whether transforming growth factor-beta (TGF…

Transforming Growth Factor β1 Gene Polymorphism —509C/T in Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719107303436

Deep infiltrating endometriosis is characterized by the presence of nodular lesions largely composed of fibromuscular tissue. Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta1) is the cytokine most causatively associated with disorders character…

Progesterone receptor polymorphism +331G/A is associated with a decreased risk of deep infiltrating endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/del325

BACKGROUND: Alterations in the progesterone receptor (PR) are considered a risk factor for the development of endometriosis. In this study, the frequencies of the PROGINS and +331G/A polymorphisms of the PR gene were determined in deep infi…
