Identification of Candidate Genes for Endometriosis in a Three-Generation Family with Multiple Affected Members Using Whole-Exome Sequencing.

Background: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting 10-15% of women of reproductive age. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have accounted for only a fraction of its high heritability, indicating the …

Comment on "Genetic variants in miR-146a and miR-196a2 in endometriosis: a Brazilian study".

The rs2046210 Polymorphism Is Associated with Endometriosis Risk and Elevated Estrogen Receptor 1 Expression in the Eutopic Endometrium of Women with the Disease.

In this focused genetic case-control study, we analyzed two functional single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) associated with breast cancer risk (rs2046210, rs9383590) and one risk SNV for an implantation defect and infertility …

Genome-wide association reveals a locus in neuregulin 3 associated with gabapentin efficacy in women with chronic pelvic pain.

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) in women with no obvious pelvic pathology has few evidence-based treatment options. Our recent multicenter randomized controlled trial (GaPP2) in women with CPP and no obvious …

Identification of a FAS/FASL haplotype associated with endometriosis in Iranian patients.

Risk factors for ovarian cancer include a number of genetic variants as well as endometriosis. The FAS-FASL system is one of the apoptotic pathways that play an essential role in …
