The phenotypic and genetic association between endometriosis and immunological diseases
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deaf062

STUDY QUESTION: Is there an increased risk of immunological diseases among endometriosis patients, and does a shared genetic basis contribute to this risk? SUMMARY ANSWER: Endometriosis patients show a significantly increased risk of autoim…

Elevated basophil count is associated with increased risk of endometriosis
Reproduction & fertility ·doi:10.1530/RAF-23-0090

Immunological dysregulation plays a fundamental role in the inflammatory aspects of endometriosis. Circulating blood leukocytes, one of the most abundant immune cell populations in the human body, have been shown diagnostic significance in …

The Association between Endometriosis and Immunological diseases
·doi:10.1101/2024.07.08.24310092

Abstract The evidence for a greater prevalence of immunological-diseases among endometriosis patients has varied in robustness and been subject to selection bias. We investigated the phenotypic and genetic association between endometriosis …

Endometriosis and cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Human reproduction update ·doi:10.1093/humupd/dmaa045

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is an often chronic, inflammatory gynaecologic condition affecting 190 million women worldwide. Studies have reported an elevated cancer risk among patients with endometriosis. However, prior research has included …

Genome-wide association and epidemiological analyses reveal common genetic origins between uterine leiomyomata and endometriosis
Nature communications ·doi:10.1038/s41467-019-12536-4

Abstract Uterine leiomyomata (UL) are the most common neoplasms of the female reproductive tract and primary cause for hysterectomy, leading to considerable morbidity and high economic burden. Here we conduct a GWAS meta-analysis in 35,474 …

The association between endometriosis and autoimmune diseases: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Human reproduction update ·doi:10.1093/humupd/dmz014

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic gynaecological disorder that affects 2-10% of women of reproductive age. The aetiology of endometriosis is largely under-explored, yet abnormalities in the immune system have been suggested to explain …

Genome-wide association analysis identifies 27 novel loci associated with uterine leiomyomata revealing common genetic origins with endometriosis
·doi:10.1101/324905

Uterine leiomyomata (UL), also known as uterine fibroids, are the most common neoplasms of the reproductive tract and the primary cause for hysterectomy, leading to considerable impact on women’s lives as well as high economic burden 1,2 . …
