article 2007
Association of Killer Cell Immunoglobulin‐like Receptor Genotypes with Susceptibility to Endometriosis
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.2007.00533.x

PROBLEM: Endometriosis is an immune-related chronic inflammatory disease with a polygenic predisposition. The aim of this study was to investigate whether polymorphisms in killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) is responsible, in …

Maintenance therapy involving a tapering dose of danazol or mid/low doses of oral contraceptive after gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist treatment for endometriosis-associated pelvic pain
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2007.05.052
article 2006
Association of Two Polymorphisms in the Peroxisome Proliferator-Acativated Receptor-γ Gene With Adenomyosis, Endometriosis, and Leiomyomata in Japanese Women
Journal of the Society for Gynecologic Investigation ·doi:10.1016/j.jsgi.2006.03.005
article 2006
Synergistic effect of interleukin‐6 promoter (IL6 −634C/G) and intercellular adhesion molecule‐1 (ICAM‐1 469K/E) gene polymorphisms on the risk of endometriosis in Japanese women
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.2006.00426.x

PROBLEM: Endometriosis is an immune-related, chronic inflammatory disease with a polygenic predisposition. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene promoter region polymorphism (-634C/G) and the interce…

article 2005
Expression of Allograft Inflammatory Factor-1 in Human Eutopic Endometrium and Endometriosis: Possible Association with Progression of Endometriosis
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jc.2004-0871

Allograft inflammatory factor-1 (AIF-1) is a cytokine originally identified in rat cardiac allografts with chronic rejection. AIF-1 is expressed in various human immune-related tissues and is thought to play a role in inflammatory responses…

article 2005
Usefulness and limits of CA-125 in diagnosis of endometriosis without associated ovarian endometriomas
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deh890

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic significance of CA-125 for endometriosis without ovarian endometriomas. METHODS: Preoperative serum CA-125 levels were measured in 775 consecutive women diagnosed by laparosco…

article 2003
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist and danazol normalize aromatase cytochrome P450 expression in eutopic endometrium from women with endometriosis, adenomyosis, or leiomyomas
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(02)04813-6
article 2002
Association of HLA class I and class II alleles with susceptibility to endometriosis
Human immunology ·doi:10.1016/s0198-8859(02)00438-x
article 2002
Association of the CYP17 gene and CYP19 gene polymorphisms with risk of endometriosis in Japanese women
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/17.4.897

BACKGROUND: To investigate whether polymorphisms of CYP17 and CYP19 genes are associated with the risk of endometriosis, we analysed the frequency and distribution of a single nucleotide polymorphism at the 5' untranslated region of the CYP…

Genetic contribution of the interleukin-10 promoter polymorphism in endometriosis susceptibility
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1034/j.1600-0897.2002.1o029.x

PROBLEM: Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an important immunomodulatory cytokine. The aim of this study was to investigate whether polymorphisms of the IL-10 gene promoter polymorphisms may be responsible in part for genetic susceptibility to endo…

article 2001
Immunohistochemical localization of aromatase and apoptosis-associated proteins in ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma arising from ovarian endometriosis
European journal of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology ·doi:10.1016/s0301-2115(01)00288-3
article 2000
Progesterone Induction of 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 2 during the Secretory Phase Occurs in the Endometrium of Estrogen-Dependent Benign Diseases But Not in Normal Endometrium
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jcem.85.9.6829

In the human endometrium, inactivation of 17beta-estradiol to estrone is catalyzed by 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (17betaHSD2). Previous studies have shown that the 17betaHSD2 activity in the endometrium is elevated during th…
