The genetic basis of endometriosis and comorbidity with other pain and inflammatory conditions
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/s41588-023-01323-z

Endometriosis is a common condition associated with debilitating pelvic pain and infertility. A genome-wide association study meta-analysis, including 60,674 cases and 701,926 controls of European and East Asian descent, identified 42 genom…

Genome-wide association identifies seven loci for pelvic organ prolapse in Iceland and the UK Biobank
Communications biology ·doi:10.1038/s42003-020-0857-9

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a downward descent of one or more of the pelvic organs, resulting in a protrusion of the vaginal wall and/or uterus. We performed a genome-wide association study of POP using data from Iceland and the UK Bioba…

Variants associating with uterine leiomyoma highlight genetic background shared by various cancers and hormone-related traits
Nature communications ·doi:10.1038/s41467-018-05428-6

Uterine leiomyomas are common benign tumors of the myometrium. We performed a meta-analysis of two genome-wide association studies of leiomyoma in European women (16,595 cases and 523,330 controls), uncovering 21 variants at 16 loci that as…

Common variants upstream of KDR encoding VEGFR2 and in TTC39B associate with endometriosis
Nature communications ·doi:10.1038/ncomms12350

We conducted a genome-wide association scan (GWAS) of endometriosis using 25.5 million sequence variants detected through whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of 8,453 Icelanders and imputed into 1,840 cases and 129,016 control women, followed by …
