STUDY QUESTION: Are mutations in the phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) gene associated with endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the 10q23.3 locus, PTEN somatic mutations and changes i…

Endometriosis is a complex gynecological disease, characterized by the presence and growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, resulting in pelvic pain and infertility. It occurs in 10% of women in their reproductive age. The viable e…

The objective of the present study was to investigate the association between gene E-cadherin single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and risk of developing endometriosis in Indian women and to evaluate the role of E-cadherin expression in t…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease causing pelvic pain and infertility in 10% of reproductive-aged women. Despite a long history of the disease the pathogenesis of endometriosis is poorly understood. It is known that…

The identification of molecular differences in the endometrium of women with endometriosis is an important step toward understanding the pathogenesis of this condition and for developing novel strategies for the treatment of associated infe…

BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to test whether the signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) gene influences the risk of developing endometriosis. METHODS: The single-nucleotide polymorphism, G2964A, in the 3'-untran…
