STUDY QUESTION: Is there a contribution of the minor allele at the KRAS single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs61764370 in the let-7 microRNA-binding site to endometriosis risk? SUMMARY ANSWER: We found no evidence for association between …

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease associated with pelvic pain and subfertility. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 3,194 individuals with surgically confirmed endometriosis (cases) and 7,060 controls from A…

Endometriosis affects 6% to 10% of women of reproductive age. Previous studies have demonstrated that risk of this disease is influenced by genetic factors; the estimated heritability is about 51%. Genome-wide association studies have inves…

We performed a genome-wide association study of melanoma in a discovery cohort of 2,168 Australian individuals with melanoma and 4,387 control individuals. In this discovery phase, we confirm several previously characterized melanoma-associ…

OBJECTIVE: To refine a previously reported linkage peak for endometriosis on chromosome 10q26, and conduct follow-up analyses and a fine-mapping association study across the region to identify new candidate genes for endometriosis. DESIGN:…

Abstract Endometriosis is a gynaecological disease that affects 6–10% of women of reproductive age. Symptoms vary but commonly include severe menstrual and pelvic pain and infertility, all of which can have major impacts on the lives of aff…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease associated with severe pelvic pain and subfertility. Genetic variation contributes to disease risk and gene mapping studies offer an important approach to understanding the biology of endometr…

Endometriosis is a common gynaecological disease associated with severe pelvic pain and sub-fertility. There is considerable debate whether different endometriosis stages represent disease progression, or whether moderate-severe (rAFS III/I…

BACKGROUND: Genetic variation contributes to the risk of developing endometriosis. This review summarizes gene mapping studies in endometriosis and the prospects of finding gene pathways contributing to disease using the latest genome-wide …
