First Indian genome study links endometriosis to genetics
Published · Updated
AI-generated summary of the coverage listed below: A genome‑wide association study conducted by India’s Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) is the first of its kind to identify genetic variants that increase the risk of endometriosis among Indian women. The study examined DNA from thousands of participants and found several loci associated with the disease, which causes chronic pelvic pain, infertility and severe menstrual pain. The findings may help explain why diagnosis is often delayed and could guide future targeted therapies.
