Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) may help inform the etiology of infertility. Here, we perform GWAS meta-analyses across seven cohorts in up to 42,629 cases and 740,619 controls and identify 25 genetic risk loci for male and female i…
PURPOSE: Natural dizygotic twinning (DZT) results from hyper-ovulation and is an indicator of female fertility. However, some traits linked to DZ twinning are also associated with infertility. We examined the relationship between DZT and fe…
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) may help inform treatments for infertility, whose causes remain unknown in many cases. Here we present GWAS meta-analyses across six cohorts for male and female infertility in up to 41,200 cases and 6…
Study questionWhich genetic factors regulate female propensity for giving birth to spontaneous dizygotic (DZ) twins?Summary answerWe identified four new loci, GNRH1, FSHR, ZFPM1, and IPO8, in addition to previously identified loci, FSHB and…
Natural dizygotic twinning (DZT) results from hyper-ovulation and is considered an indicator of female fertility. DZT has low polygenicity, with only 0.20% of SNPs estimated to have a nonzero effect. A polygenic score (PGS) for DZT explains…
Identifying genetic determinants of reproductive success may highlight mechanisms underlying fertility and identify alleles under present-day selection. Using data in 785,604 individuals of European ancestry, we identified 43 genomic loci a…
