The genetic basis of endometriosis and comorbidity with other pain and inflammatory conditions
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/s41588-023-01323-z

Endometriosis is a common condition associated with debilitating pelvic pain and infertility. A genome-wide association study meta-analysis, including 60,674 cases and 701,926 controls of European and East Asian descent, identified 42 genom…

Genetic overlap analysis of endometriosis and asthma identifies shared loci implicating sex hormones and thyroid signalling pathways
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deab254

STUDY QUESTION: Is there a shared genetic or causal association of endometriosis with asthma or what biological mechanisms may underlie their potential relationships? SUMMARY ANSWER: Our results confirm a significant but non-causal associat…

Analysis of potential protein-modifying variants in 9000 endometriosis patients and 150000 controls of European ancestry
Scientific reports ·doi:10.1038/s41598-017-10440-9

Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have identified 19 independent common risk loci for endometriosis. Most of the GWA variants are non-coding and the genes responsible for the association signals have not been identified. Herein, we aime…

Meta-analysis identifies five novel loci associated with endometriosis highlighting key genes involved in hormone metabolism
Nature communications ·doi:10.1038/ncomms15539

Endometriosis is a heritable hormone-dependent gynecological disorder, associated with severe pelvic pain and reduced fertility; however, its molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here we perform a meta-analysis of 11 genome-wide ass…
