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 …
Endometriosis is a heterogeneous gynecological disease manifesting in three distinct phenotypes: superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SUP), ovarian endometrioma (OMA), and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). While Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disorder influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, including endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). This study aimed to identify EDC-responsive genes contributing to endometriosis risk by integrating …
Background: Adenomyosis and endometriosis are complex, estrogen-dependent gynecological conditions increasingly diagnosed in adolescents. While traditionally considered diseases of reproductive-age women, emerging evidence suggests a possible developmental origin in some cases, …
We report the findings of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of endometriosis across 14 biobanks worldwide, including 32% non-European patient participants, as part of the Global Biobank Meta-Analysis Initiative …
Endometriosis is a hormone-dependent disease, in the pathophysiology of which sex hormones (androgens, estrogens, etc.) are involved. The level of bioactive androgens/estrogens (in the free state) in the organism largely …
Endometriosis is a common chronic gynecological disorder with complex and poorly understood etiology and no definitive cure. Beyond pain and infertility, affected individuals frequently experience psychiatric comorbidities, often attributed to …
Endometriosis is a common gynecologic condition that causes chronic, life-altering symptoms including pain and infertility. There is an urgent need for new non-hormonal targeted therapeutics to treat endometriosis, but until …
Endometriosis affects about 10% of women usually of reproductive age. It often has severe negative impacts on patients' quality of life, but the average time to a definitive diagnosis remains …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease characterized by the ectopic presence of endometrial-like tissue. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified susceptibility variants, their tissue-specific regulatory impact remains poorly …
