Association study between epidermal growth factor receptor and epidermal growth factor polymorphisms and endometriosis in a Japanese population
Gynecological endocrinology : the official journal of the International Society of Gynecological Endocrinology ·doi:10.1080/09513590701521057

OBJECTIVE: We investigated a possible association between endometriosis and polymorphisms in the genes encoding epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) and EGF in a Japanese population. METHODS: We compared the distribution of the Eg…

article 2007
Vascular endothelial growth factor +936 C/T polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of endometriosis in a Japanese population
Acta obstetricia et gynecologica Scandinavica ·doi:10.1080/00016340701644991

BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) concentration in endometriosis patients is higher than controls, in serum and ascites, suggesting that VEGF may play an important role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. In this study…

Association Study of Endometriosis and Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 (ICAM-1) Gene Polymorphisms in a Japanese Population
Journal of the Society for Gynecologic Investigation ·doi:10.1016/j.jsgi.2005.03.002

ObjectiveEndometriosis is an immune-related, chronic inflammatory disease with polygenic predisposition. Cell adhesion molecules are expressed in endometriotic lesions, and in cells and tissues that are involved in the development and progr…

article 2005
Lack of Association Between Endometriosis and N-acetyl transferase 1 (NAT1) and 2 (NAT2) Polymorphisms in a Japanese Population
Journal of the Society for Gynecologic Investigation ·doi:10.1016/j.jsgi.2005.01.008

ObjectiveWe investigated the association between endometriosis and polymorphisms in the N-acetyltransferase 1 (NAT1) and N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) genes in a Japanese population, having previously demonstrated a positive association with…

article 2005
Lack of association between endometriosis and theCYP17 MspA1 polymorphism in UK and Japanese populations
Gynecological endocrinology : the official journal of the International Society of Gynecological Endocrinology ·doi:10.1080/09513590400020856

Endometriosis is a complex trait, which means that multiple susceptibility genes interact with one another and the environment to produce the phenotype. One of the genes previously implicated in the disease is CYP17; this encodes the enzyme…

case-report 2004
Invasive adenocarcinoma arising from uterine adenomyosis involving the rectosigmoid colon
International journal of gynecological cancer : official journal of the International Gynecological Cancer Society ·doi:10.1111/j.1048-891X.2004.14541.x

We describe a rare case of invasive endometrioid adenocarcinoma arising from uterine adenomyosis involving the rectosigmoid colon. At laparotomy the uterus was densely adherent to the rectosigmoid colon. The final pathologic study of surgic…

article 2003
Isolated torsion of haematosalpinx associated with tubal endometriosis
Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology : the journal of the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology ·doi:10.1080/0144361031000122750

"Isolated torsion of haematosalpinx associated with tubal endometriosis." Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 23(4), pp. 453–454
