Funded Activity Summary

Endometriosis is a common disease that affects 7% of reproductive age women in Australia, resulting in pelvic pain, subfertility and painful periods. We have undertaken genetic studies that identified a number of candidate genes that show strong evidence for increasing a woman’s risk of having endometriosis. We now seek funding to investigate the functional roles that these endometriosis susceptibility genes play within the uterus, with the goal of identifying new treatments for endometriosis.
