FYFei YanJiangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine ZCZhouxiang ChenRiverside Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region LWLingfeng WuJiaxing University

Key Points

Metabolites show potential causal relationships with various subtypes of endometriosis, indicating new therapeutic avenues.
This analysis involved 1400 metabolites linked to endometriosis, deepening the understanding of the disease.
Mendelian randomisation methods provide insights into the impacts of metabolites on the chronic inflammatory disease.
These findings may lead to novel strategies for early diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis.

Abstract

Background Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease with a prevalence of approximately 10% in women of childbearing age. Metabolic pathways have been demonstrated by previous studies to be potential avenues for the development of new therapeutic strategies and may be used for early diagnosis of the disease. This study aimed to investigate the potential causal relationships between 1400 metabolites and various endometriosis subtypes using Mendelian randomisation (MR) analysis.
