Polymorphisms of dioxin receptor complex components and detoxification-related genes jointly confer susceptibility to advanced-stage endometriosis in the taiwanese han population
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.2011.01077.x

PROBLEM: To establish a multilocus model for studying the effect of dioxin receptor complex components and detoxification-related enzymes on advanced endometriosis. METHOD OF STUDY: Six single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and two deleti…

Intrapartum uterine rupture associated with a scarred cervix because of a previous rupture of cystic cervical endometriosis
Taiwanese journal of obstetrics & gynecology ·doi:10.1016/j.tjog.2009.05.001

Endometriosis is defined as the growth of ectopic endometrial tissue beyond the uterine cavity. The incidence of endometriosis has been reported to range from 4% to 17% in all women of reproductive age. The most commonly reported presentati…

Genetic alterations of HOXA10 and their effect on the severity of endometriosis in a Taiwanese population
Reproductive biomedicine online ·doi:10.1016/s1472-6483(10)60604-9

Endometriosis is one of the most common gynaecological diseases and evidence has suggested that it may be inherited as a complex genetic trait. HOXA10, a homeobox gene, is expressed in the developing uterus and participates in endometrium d…

Identification of the cadherin subtypes present in the human peritoneum and endometriotic lesions: Potential role for P‐cadherin in the development of endometriosis
Molecular reproduction and development ·doi:10.1002/mrd.10121

Endometriosis is defined as endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity. The pathogenesis of this common disease remains poorly understood. However, the implantation and invasion of the viable cells from retrograde menstruation into th…

Polymorphisms for interleukin-4 (IL-4) -590 promoter, IL-4 intron3, and tumor necrosis factor alpha -308 promoter: non-association with endometriosis
Journal of clinical laboratory analysis ·doi:10.1002/jcla.10021

Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is a cytokine with anti-inflammatory properties. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), a pluripotent proinflammatory cytokine, plays an important role in the process of numerous inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. …

article 2001
Endometriosis: Polymorphisms for Interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-511 Promoter, IL-1β Exon 5, and IL-1 Receptor Antagonist: Nonassociation with Endometriosis
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1023/a:1016653127262

PurposeWe aimed to investigate if interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) gene polymorphism could be used as markers of susceptibility in endometriosis.Materials and methodsWomen were divided into two groups: 1)…
