De novo somatic copy number aberrations (SCNAs) in eutopic and ectopic endometria are thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. In this study we used, for the first time, high-density single nucleotide polymorphism-array technology for accurate detection of SCNAs, inherited DNA copy number variations (CNVs) and copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity (cn-LOH) patterns in patients with endometriosis.
