Abstract

Background: Endometriosis and its associated gynecological diseases such as female infertility and primary ovarian failure (POF), impose a long-term disease burden on women. This study aims to explore the causal relationships between these conditions through a two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) study.

Methods: We utilized large-scale GWAS data and conducted bidirectional MR analyses using methods such as Inverse Variance Weighted (IVW) and MR-Egger to assess the causal relationships between endometriosis and female infertility, POF, amenorrhoea, and oligomenorrhoea.

Results: MR analysis revealed significant causal relationships between endometriosis and female infertility (OR=1.430, 95% CI 1.306-1.567, P<0.01) as well as POF (OR=1.348, 95% CI 1.050-1.731, P=0.019). Reverse MR analysis indicated causal relationships between amenorrhoea (OR=1.076, 95% CI 1.009-1.148, P=0.026) and female infertility (OR=1.340, 95% CI 1.092-1.645, P<0.01) with endometriosis. Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of these findings (heterogeneity: Q_pval>0.05, pleiotropy: pval>0.05).

Conclusion: This study suggested that managing endometriosis may help prevent conditions such as female infertility and POF, and vice versa. Future research is needed to confirm these findings in more diverse populations.

通过双向孟德尔随机化分析子宫内膜异位症、女性不孕症和原发性卵巢功能衰竭之间的因果关系

背景：子宫内膜异位症及其相关妇科疾病，如女性不孕症和原发性卵巢功能衰竭（POF），给女性带来了长期的疾病负担。本研究旨在通过双样本双向孟德尔随机化（MR）研究来探讨这些条件之间的因果关系。方法：利用大规模GWAS数据，采用逆方差加权（IVW）和MR- egger等方法进行双向MR分析，评估子宫内膜异位症与女性不孕症、POF、闭经和少经之间的因果关系。结果：MR分析显示子宫内膜异位症与女性不孕症之间存在显著的因果关系（OR=1.430, 95% CI 1.306-1.567， PP=0.019）。反向磁共振分析显示闭经（OR=1.076, 95% CI 1.009 ~ 1.148， P=0.026）与女性不孕症（OR=1.340, 95% CI 1.092 ~ 1.645, P0.05，多效性：pval>0.05）存在因果关系。结论：本研究提示，控制子宫内膜异位症可能有助于预防女性不孕症和POF等疾病，反之亦然。未来的研究需要在更多不同的人群中证实这些发现。
