Association Study of Endometriosis and Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 (ICAM-1) Gene Polymorphisms in a Japanese Population
Journal of the Society for Gynecologic Investigation ·doi:10.1016/j.jsgi.2005.03.002

ObjectiveEndometriosis is an immune-related, chronic inflammatory disease with polygenic predisposition. Cell adhesion molecules are expressed in endometriotic lesions, and in cells and tissues that are involved in the development and progr…

Lack of Association Between Endometriosis and N-acetyl transferase 1 (NAT1) and 2 (NAT2) Polymorphisms in a Japanese Population
Journal of the Society for Gynecologic Investigation ·doi:10.1016/j.jsgi.2005.01.008

ObjectiveWe investigated the association between endometriosis and polymorphisms in the N-acetyltransferase 1 (NAT1) and N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) genes in a Japanese population, having previously demonstrated a positive association with…

Lack of association between endometriosis and theCYP17 MspA1 polymorphism in UK and Japanese populations
Gynecological endocrinology : the official journal of the International Society of Gynecological Endocrinology ·doi:10.1080/09513590400020856

Endometriosis is a complex trait, which means that multiple susceptibility genes interact with one another and the environment to produce the phenotype. One of the genes previously implicated in the disease is CYP17; this encodes the enzyme…

The tumor necrosis factor-α promoter −1031C polymorphism is associated with decreased risk of endometriosis in a Japanese population
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deh478

BACKGROUND: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a multifunctional proinflammatory cytokine, associated with various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Elevated TNF-alpha levels in peritoneal fluid have been reported in women with …
