Neurokinin 1 receptor gene polymorphism might be correlated with recurrence rates in endometriosis

The paper investigated whether genetic variation in the neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R) might be associated with recurrence rates in people with endometriosis. Using a genotype comparison approach, the authors reported a possible correlation between an NK1R gene polymorphism and recurrence. The main limitation is that the evidence described is correlative and the paper provides no causality, and it does not clearly establish broader generalizability beyond the study population studied. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on whether an NK1R gene polymorphism correlates with endometriosis recurrence rates.
