Association study of genetic polymorphisms in endometriosis
This study analyzed genetic polymorphisms in estrogen receptors and detoxification enzymes in endometriosis patients, finding associations between ESRα and GSTM1/GSTT1 null genotypes and specific disease subtypes or recurrence.

This study analyzed genetic polymorphisms associated with endometriosis onset by classifying patients followed at Juntendo University into recurrence phenotypes (recurrent vs nonrecurrent after surgery), and a separately defined group with severe deep Douglas fossa lesions, comparing them with healthy controls. Using DNA-based genotyping, the authors tested estrogen receptor alpha variants (ER-TA repeat and Pvu II SNP), estrogen receptor beta (D14S1026 marker), and detoxification enzyme polymorphisms (GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes), then assessed genotype/allele frequency differences across disease groups. They found that certain ESRα allele patterns and higher frequencies of GSTM1 and/or GSTT1 null genotypes (including double-null) were significantly more common in specific patient subgroups, with several associations differing by phenotype, and ESRβ showing no specific allele correlation. The paper explicitly cautions that associations varied across recurrence and lesion groups and may differ by population/region, indicating that genetic effects on endometriosis are more complex than previously reported. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it is an association study of ESRα/ESRβ and GSTM1/GSTT1 polymorphisms linked to endometriosis phenotypes and recurrence.
