OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic gynecological condition of unclear etiology, with evidence suggesting a link between metabolite levels and EM risk. A two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach was used to explore the associ…

Endometriosis (EM) is an intractable gynecological condition with uncertain etiology. Gut microbiota have been increasingly implicated in EM, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we identify a gut microbe-metabolite-uterus ax…
