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 …
The VDR and MTHFR polymorphisms have been linked to many gynecological and obstetrical diseases. However, there is still a pressing need for a systematic review and meta-analysis to synthesize the …
Over-expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) has been suggested as a biomarker for endometriosis. However, the genetic influence of MMP-1 in the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unclear, with its role yet …
Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory disorder with multifactorial etiologies (i.e., genetics and environmental factors, hormonal and immunological changes, and microbiome alterations). The complement system is one of the most …
It has been debated whether endometriosis (EMS) adversely affects oocyte quality, potentially leading to a higher incidence of genetically unbalanced embryos or other egg factors that affect the developmental potential. …
Endometriosis is a complex disease with diverse etiologies, including hormonal, immunological, and environmental factors; however, its exact pathogenesis remains unknown. While surgical approaches are the diagnostic and therapeutic gold standard, …
Endometriosis, a prevalent chronic gynecological condition, is frequently associated with infertility and pelvic pain. Despite numerous studies indicating a correlation between epigenetic regulation and endometriosis, its precise genetic etiology remains …
Observational studies suggest a link between blood lipid levels and endometriosis risk, but clinical evidence is limited and causality has not been established. This study aims to clarify this relationship …
Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age, characterized by the abnormal presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. Although endometriosis was first described …
