The paper investigates the effect of the PKHD1L1 splice donor variant rs17368310 on female fertility, showing reduced child count in homozygous carriers across Finnish and Mexican populations.

The paper uses affinity-tagged SMAD1 and SMAD5 mouse lines to study their roles in endometrial decidualization during early pregnancy, revealing their genomic binding patterns and functional impact on decidual marker expression.

The paper identifies impaired BMP/SMAD signaling as a cause of defective decidualization in endometriosis using transcriptomic and genome-wide binding analyses.
