Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and its subclinical form categorized as premenstrual syndrome (PMS), are severe mood disorders characterized by cyclical depressive symptoms, anxiety, irritability, and other functional impairments, impacting a broad range of women during the late luteal phase. The estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) gene encodes the estrogen receptor alpha (ER) which plays a critical role in mediating estrogen signaling and regulates various physiological and psychological processes. In this study, we investigated the relationship between six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in intron 4 of the ESR1 gene and premenstrual symptom severity, emphasizing symptom- genotype associations and SNP interactions. Results demonstrated that specific SNPs were linked to distinct symptom profiles, such as anxiety, difficulty concentrating, and sleep disturbances. Interactions between SNPs revealed both risk-enhancing and protective effects. These findings suggest that premenstrual symptoms may stem from a genotype-linked reduced sensitivity to ovarian hormones, providing a foundation for future research.
