摘要：
Objective: To describe the occurrence of endometriosis in monozygotic twins. Design: Postal questionnaire plus confirmation of disease status. Setting: Twins were recruited via the American Endometriosis Association and the National Endometriosis Society of Great Britain and via British gynecologists. Result(s): Fourteen twin pairs were concordant for endometriosis, and two were discordant. Nine pairs of twins had moderate-severe endometriosis. Conclusion(s): These findings contribute to the growing body of literature that suggests endometriosis has a genetic basis. (C) 1997 by American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
