Associations between a single nucleotide polymorphism of stress-induced phosphoprotein 1 and endometriosis/adenomyosis

The G/G allele of STIP1 SNP rs4980524 is associated with the increased expression of STIP1 and MMP9 in endometriosis. Further validation in independent cohorts of endometriosis patients may prove its usefulness as a genetic risk maker for endometriosis/adenomyosis.
