Precision medicine applications depend on elucidating the underlying molecular mechanisms of disease. However, many disorders, such as endometriosis, remain poorly characterised genetically due to data scarcity, positive-unlabelled (PU) imbalance, and …
Both genetic and environmental factors affect human stature, including overall height and familial short stature (FSS), and it is associated with various health outcomes. However, the study of genetic connections …
The origin of ectopic gynecologic lesions has been debated since 1927, when Sampson first proposed retrograde menstruation as the underlying cause of endometriosis. Reproduction in mammals is an unusually permissive …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder affecting ~10% of reproductive-age women. It is underdiagnosed, with delays of 5-12 years. Symptoms include dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia, dyschezia, dysuria, fatigue, …
Endometriosis is a chronic hormone-responsive disorder linked to infertility, usually characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrium in the pelvis that disrupts local homeostasis. Advances in single-cell "omic" methods have …
Dyslipidaemia is related to endometriosis, but it is not known which lipid component is most relevant, and whether the observed correlation reflects the causal relationship. The relationship between triglycerides (TG) …
Endometriosis can impair natural reproduction through multiple mechanisms, including distortion of pelvic anatomy and chronic peritoneal inflammation. On this basis, surgical treatment might be reasonably expected to benefit. However, clinical …
