To study the reproductive and medical history of monozygotic twin sisters and mothers of patients with endometriosis.
Among 515 patients with endometriosis, eight had a monozygotic twin sister all of whom had had a gynecological laparoscopy or laparotomy. In addition, five of their mothers had had a laparotomy. Details about these 13 relatives were obtained either from medical records (ten cases) or by unmistakable reports from the proband (three cases).
Six of the monozygotic twin sisters (75%) also had symptomatic endometriosis compared with 3.8% among other types of sisters (p < 0.0005). Three of the mothers (38%) had either endometriosis or adenomyosis.
This study gives support to the assumption that endometriosis has a genetic trait.
研究单卵双胞胎姐妹及子宫内膜异位症患者母亲的生育史和病史。
在515例子宫内膜异位症患者中,有8例患者有单卵双胞胎姐妹,她们均接受过妇科腹腔镜检查或剖腹手术。此外,她们的5位母亲接受过剖腹手术。这13位亲属的详细信息,10例来自病历,3例由先证者提供的确切报告获得。
6例单卵双胞胎姐妹(75%)也患有症状性子宫内膜异位症,而其他类型姐妹的患病率为3.8%(p<0.0005)。3位母亲(38%)患有子宫内膜异位症或子宫腺肌病。
本研究支持子宫内膜异位症具有遗传特征这一假设。
