GWAS of butyrylcholinesterase activity identifies four novel loci, independent effects within BCHE and secondary associations with metabolic risk factors
Human molecular genetics ·doi:10.1093/hmg/ddr375

Serum butyrylcholinesterase (BCHE) activity is associated with obesity, blood pressure and biomarkers of cardiovascular and diabetes risk. We have conducted a genome-wide association scan to discover genetic variants affecting BCHE activity…

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…

Genomewide linkage study in 1,176 affected sister pair families identifies a significant susceptibility locus for endometriosis on chromosome 10q26
American journal of human genetics ·doi:10.1086/432960

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 endometri…

The International Endogene Study: a collection of families for genetic research in endometriosis
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(02)03341-1

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the International Endogene Study is to discover genes that influence susceptibility to endometriosis. DESIGN: The study brings together two research groups based in Australia and the United Kingdom that independently …
