Abstract:
This article further reveals the significance of "tiangui (天癸)" in female reproductive genetic diseases by analyzing the core influence of the "kidney-tiangui-chong and ren mai (冲任)-uterus" reproductive axis on the processes of birth, growth, robustness, and aging in females. Approaching tiangui through its heredity, material basis, temporality, rhythmicity, functional diversity and genetic polymorphism, and integrating reproductive genetics with epigenetics, it explores the potential associations between the characteristics of tiangui and the pathogenesis, clinical features, and therapeutic targets of female reproductive genetic diseases. This study furnishes a novel genetic interpretation of the physiological and pathological features of tiangui, offering scientific basis for the integrated prevention and treatment of female reproductive genetic diseases with traditional Chinese and western medicine.
