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 …
Background: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting 10-15% of women of reproductive age. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have accounted for only a fraction of its high heritability, indicating the …
Endometriosis has been linked to several systemic complications, including cardiovascular disease (CVD), atrial fibrillation (AF), heart failure (HF), hypertension, stroke, and ischemic stroke. The potential causal relationship between endometriosis and …
The endometrium, essential for reproduction, undergoes cyclical shedding, remodeling, and regeneration. Using a large endometrial transcriptomic dataset (n = 206), we identified RNA splicing and transcript isoform-level changes across the …
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 …
