TL;DR
Women with endometriosis have a tenfold increased risk of endometiosis in their first-degree relatives and there were no differences in demographic characteristics, body habitus, or menstrual parameters.

These epidemiological findings strongly support the menstrual reflux hypothesis and include the demonstration of viable endometrial cells in the menstrual effluent and peritoneal fluid, and an association between obstructed menstrual outflow and endometriosis.

Several genetic etiologies can be postulated, but polygenic/multifactorial inheritance seems most likely because of the 6.9% recurrence risk for all first-degree relatives and observations that the 18 patients with an affected first- Degree relative were more likely to have severe endometriosis than those without an affectedFirst-degree relative.

The hypothesis that genes influence liability to endometriosis, supported by the findings of this Australia-wide volunteer sample of female monozygotic and dizygotic twins, is supported.

245 Citations1993Mette Haase Moen, Per Magnus
Severe manifestations of endometriosis were found more often among patients with a positive family history than among those without and among patients without with a negative family history (26% versus 12%, p < 0.01).
Human ReproductionGenetic factors contribute to the risk of developing endometriosis
222 Citations2002Hreinn Stefánsson, Reynir Tómas Geirsson +7 more
This is the first population-based study using an extensive genealogy database to examine the genetic contribution to endometriosis and demonstrates that a genetic factor is present, with a raised risk in close and more distant relatives, and a definite kinship factor with maternal and paternal inheritance contributing.

It is concluded that the GSTM1 null allele is not an endometriosis susceptibility allele, however, it may predisposeendometriotic lesions to malignant transformation to endometRIoid and clear cell ovarian cancer.

The Oxford Endometriosis Gene (OXEGENE) study, an international collaborative project, seeks to identify the susceptibility loci using linkage analysis; the aim is to use positional cloning techniques to identify genes that predispose women to the disease.

The data suggest that CYP19 VNTR (TTTA)(10) allele as well as the combined genotype CYP1A1 m1 polymorphism and GSTM1null deletion associate with the endometriosis phenotype, whereas the GSTT1 null deletion does not.

The results support familial aggregation of endometriosis in the rhesus macaque, and indicate that this is a promising animal model for the investigation of mode of inheritance, the location of potential genetic susceptibility loci and the influence of environmental factors.

Analyses of lineage patterns show that for 43 women with endometriosis who reported that other family members have the disease, the vast majority of these familial cases involve the maternal lineage, thus expanding results of former studies.

Based on the current understanding of endometriosis, some concrete benchmarks can be established for testing or screening potential compounds in vitro and human cell lines will prove to be an inexpensive and valuable tool for future preliminary evaluation of medical therapies as well as discerning pathophysiologic processes of the disease.

These data confirm a familial tendency for endometriosis and suggest that this disorder has a genetic basis, as opposed to no case among the controls.

It is suggested that endometriosis has a genetic factor in the pathogenesis and a significant difference was not seen in age at diagnosis and clinical stage between patients with or without a family history of endometRIosis.

Current knowledge of the relationship between minimal to mild endometriosis and subfertility is limited and the main reason for this lack of progress is most probably that the mechanism of subf fertility remains to be determined.

Although laparoscopic cystectomy for ovarian endometriosis does not impair oocyte quality, it also does not offer superior fertility outcomes to asymptomatic women, and proceeding directly to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in women who lack symptoms might reduce the time to pregnancy and lower patient costs.

The association of endometriosis with circulating levels of human leukocyte antigens and VEGF in two generations of a single family (mother and three daughters) was studied and these markers were expressed distinctly in women with familial endometRIosis.
