Ovarian cancer (OC) is highly lethal, largely due to late diagnosis and chemoresistance. Endometriosis (EM) increases the risk of specific OC subtypes, but the molecular connection between the two diseases …
This study evaluated the feasibility of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping using dried blood spot (DBS) samples stored under various conditions, based on the genotyping success rate and concordance with whole …
Multi-omics data are instrumental in obtaining a comprehensive picture of complex biological systems. This is particularly useful for women's health conditions, such as endometriosis which has been historically understudied despite …
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 …
Endometriosis is illustrated by the presence of ectopic endometrial cells capable of evading apoptosis outside the uterus. Apoptotic and anti-apoptotic factors in the extra uterine microenvironment can be compromised by …
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 …
Natural dizygotic twinning (DZT) results from hyper-ovulation and is considered an indicator of female fertility. DZT has low polygenicity, with only 0.20% of SNPs estimated to have a nonzero effect. …
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 …
