New candidate genes associated to endometriosis
Gynecological endocrinology : the official journal of the International Society of Gynecological Endocrinology ·doi:10.1080/09513590.2018.1499090

A previous GWAS study performed on Brazilian pooled samples indicated some SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) differentially frequent in infertile patients with endometriosis and controls. Some of them were located in the genes whose bi…

article 2015
Evaluation of the frequency of G-765C polymorphism in the promoter region of the COX-2 gene and its correlation with the expression of this gene in the endometrium of women with endometriosis

article 2013
There is no relationship between Paraoxonase serum level activity in women with endometriosis and the stage of the disease: an observational study
Reproductive health ·doi:10.1186/1742-4755-10-32

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic condition whose pathophysiology is unknown, but there is evidence suggesting a link with oxidative stress. Paraoxonase is a serum enzyme which circulates associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL).…

The possible role of genetic variants in autoimmune-related genes in the development of endometriosis
Human immunology ·doi:10.1016/j.humimm.2011.12.009

Numerous hypotheses have been put forward to explain the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue and stroma. The immune system participates in the homeostasis of the peritoneal cavity, and modifications in its functioning have been advanced …

The progins progesterone receptor gene polymorphism is not related to endometriosis-associated infertility or to idiopathic infertility
Clinics (Sao Paulo, Brazil) ·doi:10.1590/s1807-59322010001100002

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the frequency of the PROGINS polymorphism in women with endometriosis-associated infertility, in infertile women without endometriosis and in controls. INTRODUCTION: The human progesterone receptor g…
