Identification of a novel uterine leiomyoma GWAS locus in a Japanese population.
Scientific reports ·doi:10.1038/s41598-020-58066-8

Uterine leiomyoma is one of the most common gynaecologic benign tumours, but its genetic basis remains largely unknown. Six previous GWAS identified 33 genetic factors in total. Here, we performed a two-staged GWAS using 13,746 cases and 70…

Large-scale genome-wide association study in a Japanese population identifies novel susceptibility loci across different diseases.
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/s41588-020-0640-3

The overwhelming majority of participants in current genetic studies are of European ancestry. To elucidate disease biology in the East Asian population, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) with 212,453 Japanese individuals …
