Endometriosis in monozygotic twins
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To study the reproductive and medical history of monozygotic twin sisters and mothers of patients with endometriosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Among 515 patients with endometriosis, eight had a monozygotic twin sister all of whom had had a gynecological laparoscopy or laparotomy. In addition, five of their mothers had had a laparotomy. Details about these 13 relatives were obtained either from medical records (ten cases) or by unmistakable reports from the proband (three cases). RESULT: Six of the monozygotic twin sisters (75%) also had symptomatic endometriosis compared with 3.8% among other types of sisters (p < 0.0005). Three of the mothers (38%) had either endometriosis or adenomyosis. CONCLUSION: This study gives support to the assumption that endometriosis has a genetic trait.

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.
