The role of survivin in the pathogenesis of endometriosis
Minerva medica ·doi:10.23736/S0026-4806.19.06358-4

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a common, estrogen-dependent condition, defined as the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside of the uterus, associated with often chronic and inflammatory reaction. The association of endometriosis with …

Influence of STAT4 gene polymorphisms in the pathogenesis of endometriosis
Annals of human genetics ·doi:10.1111/ahg.12309

The STAT4 gene is vital to signaling pathways in the immune response. Immunological alterations are involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, and STAT4 polymorphisms may be linked to disease development. This study's aim is to evaluate…

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 …

ORIGINAL ARTICLE: PTPN22 C1858T Polymorphism in Women with Endometriosis
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.2009.00797.x

PROBLEM: Endometriosis has been suggested to be an autoimmune disease and recently, an allelic variation of the PTPN22 (C1858T) gene was revealed to be associated with the development of autoimmunity. The aim of the study was to determine t…
