Endometriosis is a complex disease, influenced by genetic factors. Genetic markers associated with endometriosis exist at chromosome 1p36.12 and lead to altered expression of the long intergenic non-coding RNA 339 (LINC00339), however, the …
A diagnosis of endometriosis is associated with increased risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes including placenta praevia and preterm birth. Some studies have also suggested associations with gestational hypertension, foetal growth restricti…
Endometriosis-associated pain and the mechanisms responsible for its initiation and persistence are complex and difficult to treat. Endometriosis-associated pain is experienced as dysmenorrhea, cyclical pain related to organ function includ…
Sir, We thank Professor Donnez for his interest and considered response in regard to our article (Colgrave et al., 2020). In current practice, a pathologist will diagnose endometriosis using sections from biopsies stained with haematoxylin …
BACKGROUND: Deep endometriosis (DE) may significantly affect women's quality of life. Limited data exists on the effect of surgery on the several domains of sexual function. AIM: To prospectively compare various domains of sexual function b…
STUDY QUESTION: Does the presence of adenomyosis in women treated with IVF alter IVF outcomes? SUMMARY ANSWER: Adenomyosis does not significantly alter IVF outcomes when adjusted for confounding factors including maternal age and smoking st…
STUDY QUESTION: Do menstrual cycle-dependent changes occur in the histological appearance of superficial peritoneal endometriotic lesions, and are they equivalent to those observed in the eutopic endometrium? SUMMARY ANSWER: Only a small su…
Endometriotic lesions are composed in part of endometrial-like stromal cells, however, there is a shortage of immortalized human endometrial stromal cultures available for research. As genetic factors play a role in endometriosis risk, it i…
BACKGROUND: Major challenges in understanding the functional consequences of genetic risk factors for human disease are which tissues and cell types are affected and the limited availability of suitable tissue. The aim of this study was to …
What do women with endometriosis need? What are the things that would make their lives easier? Where are the gaps in their care? Questions like these can only be answered by women themselves. The development of an unmet needs survey for wom…
CONTEXT: Despite extensive searches for novel noninvasive diagnostics, laparoscopy remains the reference test for endometriosis. Circulating miRNAs are purported endometriosis biomarkers; however, the miRNA species and their diagnostic accu…
