Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological inflammatory disease. The mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNA CN) and mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) are known to contribute to human pathologies and cancer. Therefore, …
Patients with pathogenic variants in the GATA Binding Protein 2 (GATA2), a hematopoietic transcription factor, are at risk for human papillomavirus-related (HPV) anogenital cancer at younger than expected ages. A …
In this focused genetic case-control study, we analyzed two functional single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) associated with breast cancer risk (rs2046210, rs9383590) and one risk SNV for an implantation defect and infertility …
Endometriosis is a gynecological disorder seriously affecting the health and life of women of reproductive age. Neuropilin 2 (NRP2) has been indicated to display a high level in ectopic endometrium. …
Embryo implantation, a critical step during the mammalian reproductive process, requires normal developing blastocysts and a receptive endometrium. Endometriosis, a common pathologically benign gynecological condition, is associated with decreased fertility …
Exosomes are small bilayer-lipid membrane vesicles secreted by living cells that are able to transfer regulatory molecules and genetic information from one cell to another. These vesicles are enriched with …
Endometriosis is a common chronic inflammatory condition in which endometrial tissue appears outside the uterine cavity. Because ectopic endometriosis cells express both estrogen and progesterone (P4) receptors, they grow and …
