In 1999, Dr Susan Treloar and colleagues conducted a landmark twin study in Australia and reported their estimate of 51% for the heritability of endometriosis. This important result led several …
Female reproductive disorders (FRDs), including polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, uterine leiomyomata, and infertility, have been epidemiologically associated with impaired pulmonary function. However, it remains unclear whether this cross-organ link reflects …
A broad range of genetic and epigenetic factors contributes to female infertility, a substantial proportion of which is related to ovulatory disorders. Any factor that disrupts the normal function of …
Gynecological conditions including endometriosis, polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome and malignancies cause widespread chronic morbidity and infertility, yet translating genetic discoveries into biological mechanisms remains challenging. We propose a framework integrating …
Early pregnancy bleeding is a common pregnancy complication, yet its genetic basis and potential links with psychiatric traits remain poorly understood. This study aimed to characterize the shared genetic architecture …
Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic, inflammatory gynaecological disorder defined by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, most frequently affecting the ovaries, peritoneum, and uterosacral ligaments. Despite its …
GPR30 (G-protein coupled receptor 30) plays a key role in regulating reproductive processes, particularly through estrogen signaling. Previous studies have linked GPR30 polymorphisms to female reproductive disorders such as infertility, …
Endometrial organoids are a powerful, 3D in vitro system for studying reproductive function and disease since they are more physiologically representative than 2D cell models. However, optimal methods for the …
ObjectiveEndometriosis is a systemic chronic disease with serious effects on various aspects of female health and wellbeing that has been associated with a significant increase in free circulating DNA (CfDNA) …
Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory condition affecting around 10% of reproductive-age women, characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside of the uterus. The effects of endometriosis include chronic pelvic …
