The endometrium, essential for reproduction, undergoes cyclical shedding, remodeling, and regeneration. Using a large endometrial transcriptomic dataset (n = 206), we identified RNA splicing and transcript isoform-level changes across the …
Background: Dysmenorrhea is a common gynecological symptom among reproductive-aged women, associated with substantial pain and decreased quality of life. Previous studies have suggested that inflammatory and hormonal fluctuations linked to …
Existing evidence shows the importance of circulating cytokines in studying female reproductive system dysfunction. Endometriosis (EM) is thought to be associated with multiple immune cytokines, but its causality has not …
Can a large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis identify genomic risk loci and likely involved genes for female genital tract (FGT) polyps, provide insights into the biological mechanism underlying their …
This study aimed to assess the causal relationship between lipidome and female reproductive diseases (FRDs) using an advanced series of Mendelian randomization (MR) methods. This study utilized genome-wide association study …
Endometriosis (EMs) is a common gynecological disease accompanied by metabolic disturbances. However, the causality between metabolites and the risk of EMs remains unclear. We conducted a 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) …
Endometriosis (EM), a prevalent estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder affecting women of reproductive age, is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, resulting in pelvic scarring, pain, and infertility. …
Endometriosis affects 10% of women worldwide and is linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preterm birth. Recent epidemiological and genetic studies indicate that endometriosis may influence gestational duration and the …
We report the findings of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of endometriosis consisting of a large portion (31%) of non-European samples across 14 biobanks worldwide as part of the …
The mechanism underlying the co-occurrence of major depressive disorder (MDD) and gynecological diseases remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the familial co-aggregation and shared genetic loading between MDD and …
