Bidirectional Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study Reveals Causal Associations Between Aging and Endometriosis
Our findings suggest that longer LTL may contribute to an increased risk of endometriosis, particularly in ovarian and rectovaginal subtypes. However, no causal effect of endometriosis on aging was observed. The lack of replication in independent datasets highlights the potential influence of population heterogeneity and dataset-specific factors, warranting further validation in diverse cohorts.
