Abstract

To identify susceptibility genes for endometriosis in Japanese women, genome-wide association (GWA) analysis was performed using two case-control cohorts genotyped with the Affymetrix Mapping 500K Array or Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0. In each of the two array cohorts, stringent quality control (QC) filters were applied to newly obtained genotype data, together with previously analyzed data from the Japanese Integrated Database Project. After QC-based filtering of samples and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in each cohort, 282 838 SNPs in both genotyping platforms were tested for association with endometriosis using a meta-analysis of the two GWA studies with 696 patients with endometriosis and 825 controls. The meta-analysis revealed that a common susceptibility locus conferring a large effect on the disease risk was unlikely. On the other hand, an excess of SNPs with P-values <10(-4) (36 vs 28 SNPs expected by chance) was observed in the meta-analysis. Of note, four of the top five SNPs with P-values <10(-5) were located in and around IL1A (interleukin 1α), which might be a functional candidate gene for endometriosis. Further studies with larger case-control cohorts will be necessary to elucidate the genetic risk factors.

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.
