Significant evidence of one or more susceptibility loci for endometriosis with near-Mendelian inheritance on chromosome 7p13–15
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/del446

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common disease with a heritable component. The collaborative International Endogene Study consists of two data sets (Oxford and Australia) comprising 1176 families with multiple affected. The aim was to invest…

First evidence that one or more rare genetic polymorphisms with high penetrance may be involved in the aetiology of endometriosis

Genomewide linkage study in 1,176 affected sister pair families identifies a significant susceptibility locus for endometriosis on chromosome 10q26

Familial aggregation of endometriosis in a large pedigree of rhesus macaques
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deh052

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis occurs in several non-human primate species that have menstrual cycles. This study investigated the prevalence and familial aggregation of endometriosis in one of those species, the rhesus macaque. METHODS: Betwee…

article 2002
International Endogene Study finds strong evidence of susceptibility loci for endometriosis at two genomic regions
review 2002
The Genetic Epidemiology of Spontaneous Endometriosis in the Rhesus Monkey
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences ·doi:10.1111/j.1749-6632.2002.tb02784.x

The etiology of endometriosis is uncertain, but there is increasing evidence that it is inherited as a complex genetic trait like diabetes or asthma. In such complex traits, multiple gene loci conferring susceptibility to the disease intera…

review 2001
Affected sib-pair analysis in endometriosis
Human reproduction update ·doi:10.1093/humupd/7.4.411

This paper (i) reviews the current clinical and molecular genetic data which strongly suggest that endometriosis has a genetic basis; (ii) outlines the general principles of affected-sib pair analysis; and (iii) describes the Oxford Endomet…
