Previous studies have shown that patients with a history of endometriosis have an increased susceptibility for developing a big number of comorbidities, including various autoimmune diseases. Endometriosis is a complex, …
Immunological factors appear to play an important role in the development of endometriosis, as evidenced by the aberrant functioning of immune cells often observed in affected women. Although endometriosis is …
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 …
MiRNAs regulate gene expression, impacting reproductive health, such as infertility and implantation failure. This study investigated the association between miRNA polymorphisms and male infertility (azoospermia, oligospermia), female infertility (endometriosis), and …
Endometriosis is a complex, heterogeneous disease with several genetic and non-genetic pathogenic factors. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/AKT/mTOR) pathway may influence both progression and different stages …
The relationship between abortion and endometriosis (EMS) has been inconsistent in previous observational studies and remains controversial. We intended to examine the causal relationship between abortion and EMS.
Previous observational studies have suggested an association between natural hair color and the risk of endometriosis; however, the causal relationship remains unclear. Here, we conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) …
Endometriosis, a prevalent chronic gynecologic disorder, significantly impacts women's health, with both genetic and environmental factors contributing to its heritability. Within the adaptive immune system, the NOD-like receptors (NLR) pathway …
The VDR and MTHFR polymorphisms have been linked to many gynecological and obstetrical diseases. However, there is still a pressing need for a systematic review and meta-analysis to synthesize the …
Over-expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) has been suggested as a biomarker for endometriosis. However, the genetic influence of MMP-1 in the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unclear, with its role yet …
