Genetics of endometriosis: heritability and candidate genes
Abstract
Endometriosis is a complex gynecologic disorder that affects as many as 10-15% of premenopausal women. Epidemiologic studies have confirmed that this disease is a genetic disorder of polygenic/multifactorial inheritance. The disorder has long been recognized to show heritable tendencies with recurrence risks of 5-7% for first-degree relatives. The current investigational goal is to determine the number and location of causative genes, a process that has been made possible by recent advances in molecular technology. This chapter discusses heritability studies supporting polygenic/multifactorial inheritance, the scientific basis of genome-wide strategies for identifying causative genes and potential candidate genes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
