Genomewide Linkage Study in 1,176 Affected Sister Pair Families Identifies a Significant Susceptibility Locus for Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that affects up to 10 % of women in their reproductive years. It causes pelvic pain, severe dysmenorrhea, and subfertility. The disease is defined as the presence of tissue resembling endometr…

Association between polymorphisms in the progesterone receptor gene and endometriosis
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/gah221

The progesterone receptor (PR) is a candidate gene for the development of endometriosis, a complex disease with strong hormonal features, common in women of reproductive age. We typed the 306 base pair Alu insertion (AluIns) polymorphism in…

·doi:10.1071/srb04abs026

Endometriosis is a complex disease which affects up to 10% of women in their reproductive years. Common symptoms include severe dysmenorrhea and pelvic pain. The disease is associated with subfertility and some malignancies. Genetic and env…
