Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To identify consistent genetic changes in endometriosis samples to determine whether endometriosis lesions are true neoplasms. DESIGN: We analyzed ovarian endometriosis lesions for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at 12 loci of potential importance (D9S1870, D9S265, D9S270, D9S161, D11S29, D1S199, D8S261, APOA2, PTCH, TP53, D10S541, and D10S1765), including some at which genetic changes were previously...
