Identification of Susceptibility Genes for Peritoneal, Ovarian, and Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis Using a Pooled Sample-Based Genome-Wide Association Study
Table 1
Top ranked SNPs significantly associated with at least two endometriosis subtypes. Gene name is provided if the genotyped SNP is located in upstream, 3′UTR, intronic, exonic, 5′UTR, or downstream regions of that gene as annotated by Ensembl Genome Browser GRCh37 (Feb 2009). Inter denotes that a SNP is located in an intergenic region. Chr: chromosome. CV: coefficient of variation. In bold are figured the SNPs common to at least two endometriosis subtypes. Induction ratio is the ratio of gene expression in the endometriotic lesion as compared to the expression in the eutopic endometrium (data from Borghese, 2008). A ratio above 2.0 denotes an upregulation of the gene expression. A ratio below 0.50 denotes a downregulation of the gene expression.
