Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) is widely used to screen for embryo aneuploidy, enabling the selection and transfer of genetically normal embryos. Despite its potential to improve clinical outcomes, …
Genetic Breakthrough Reveals New Clues to Endometriosis Risk EMJ
Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disorder for which metabolic reprogramming has emerged as a central pathological feature. Driven by genetic, epigenetic, and microenvironmental stressors, ectopic endometrial cells undergo …

Largest-Ever Genetic Study of Endometriosis Uncovers 80 Risk Regions and New Avenues for Treatment Yale School of Medicine
Endometriosis is a chronic systemic disease affecting ~10% of women, yet its genetic basis and molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Hence, here we conducted a genome-wide association study of endometriosis …
Vitamin D a fat-soluble steroid hormone signals through Vitamin D Receptors (VDRs) located throughout the ovaries, uterus, placenta, hypothalamus, and pituitary gland, influencing immune regulation and female reproductive physiology. This …
Epigenetic mechanisms, particularly the roles of DNA methylation and microRNAs, are increasingly recognized in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. DNA methyltransferase 3 (DNMT3) alpha, an important DNA methyltransferase, and miR-29b, a …
Adenomyosis is a prevalent disorder of the archimetra, historically conflated with endometriosis but possessing a unique pathobiological trajectory. This review synthesises current molecular evidence to propose a unified mechanistic framework …
Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent disorder affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. Increasing epidemiological and molecular evidence indicates that it may represent a precursor condition for a subset …
