摘要:
This paper (i) reviews the current clinical and molecular genetic data which strongly suggest that endometriosis has a genetic basis; (ii) outlines the general principles of affected-sib pair analysis; and (iii) describes the Oxford Endometriosis Gene (OXEGENE) Study which aims, using a positional cloning approach, to identify susceptibility genes involved in the development of the disease.
