Genetic overlap analysis of endometriosis and asthma identifies shared loci implicating sex hormones and thyroid signalling pathways
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deab254

STUDY QUESTION: Is there a shared genetic or causal association of endometriosis with asthma or what biological mechanisms may underlie their potential relationships? SUMMARY ANSWER: Our results confirm a significant but non-causal associa…

Genetic analysis of endometriosis and depression identifies shared loci and implicates causal links with gastric mucosa abnormality
Human genetics ·doi:10.1007/s00439-020-02223-6

Evidence from observational studies indicates that endometriosis and depression often co-occur. However, conflicting evidence exists, and the etiology as well as biological mechanisms underlying their comorbidity remain unknown. Utilizing g…

Genome-wide association and epidemiological analyses reveal common genetic origins between uterine leiomyomata and endometriosis
Nature communications ·doi:10.1038/s41467-019-12536-4

Uterine leiomyomata (UL) are the most common neoplasms of the female reproductive tract and primary cause for hysterectomy, leading to considerable morbidity and high economic burden. Here we conduct a GWAS meta-analysis in 35,474 cases and…

Human genomic regions with exceptionally high levels of population differentiation identified from 911 whole-genome sequences
Genome biology ·doi:10.1186/gb-2014-15-6-r88

BACKGROUND: Population differentiation has proved to be effective for identifying loci under geographically localized positive selection, and has the potential to identify loci subject to balancing selection. We have previously investigated…
