Abstract Background Human endometrium is a complex tissue lining the inside of the uterus and is essential for female fertility. It comprises several cell types, including endometrial stromal and epithelial cells, whose structure and functi…
Endometriosis is a chronic gynaecological disease characterised by endometrial-like tissue found external to the uterus. While several studies have reported strong evidence of a genetic contribution to the disease, studies on the environmen…
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 m…
Endometriosis is a leading cause of pain and infertility affecting millions of women globally. Herein, we characterize variation in DNA methylation (DNAm) and its association with menstrual cycle phase, endometriosis, and genetic variants t…
Abstract Endometriosis is a leading cause of pain and infertility affecting millions of women globally. Identifying biologic and genetic effects on DNA methylation (DNAm) in endometrium increases understanding of mechanisms that influence g…
BACKGROUND: Major challenges in understanding the functional consequences of genetic risk factors for human disease are which tissues and cell types are affected and the limited availability of suitable tissue. The aim of this study was to …
