This chapter discusses whether endometriosis should be considered a hereditary disease by explaining the concept of heritability and the use of family aggregation to estimate genetic contribution. It describes that in some families multiple women are affected across generations, and in other families only one woman is affected, and notes that endometriosis shows an excess of familial cases compared with first-degree relatives of unaffected controls or the general population. It cites historical studies from 1943 (Goodall) and the 1950s (Gardner and Frey) that confirmed this excess of familial cases. This paper relates to endometriosis by focusing specifically on the “received idea” that endometriosis is inherited and explaining evidence for familial/genetic predisposition.
