Synopsis

Endometriosis is a complex disease with a poorly understood aetiology. The Genetic variants, Early Life exposures, and Longitudinal Endometriosis symptoms Study (GELLES) aims to identify genetic and early life factors that contribute to the development and progression of endometriosis. The outcomes of the study will assist in the prediction of endometriosis to facilitate earlier diagnosis for young women.
