Genome-wide analyses identify 25 infertility loci and relationships with reproductive traits across the allele frequency spectrum
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/s41588-025-02156-8

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…

O-218 Symptoms and signs of adenomyosis according to the revised MUSA criteria in 375 women with pregnancy loss and known ploidy of the pregnancy loss
·doi:10.1093/humrep/deaf097.218

Abstract Study question • Does adenomyosis increase risk of euploid pregnancy loss (PL)? • Is there a correlation of euploid PL and direct and/or indirect features of adenomyosis? Summary answer No increased risk of euploid PL was observed …

Genome-wide analyses identify 21 infertility loci and over 400 reproductive hormone loci across the allele frequency spectrum
medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences ·doi:10.1101/2024.03.19.24304530

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…

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…
