Genetic polymorphisms in patients with endometriosis: an analytical study in Goiânia (Central West of Brazil)

K. S. F. Silva, Moura, K. K. V. O., Silva, K. S. F., and Moura, K. K. V. O., Genetic polymorphisms in patients with endometriosis: an analytical study in Goiânia (Central West of Brazil), vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

In healthy women, intra- and extracellular controls prevent the attachment and proliferation of ectopic endometrial cells. During endometriosis, abnormalities in these control mechanisms permit the survival of endometrial cells, their subsequent attachment to the peritoneal cavity, and disease progression. These abnormal cells cause invasion of tissues and induce an inflammatory response. Several genetic, immunological, and environmental factors contribute to this complex process.
