Abstract Female genital tract (FGT) polyps are common benign growths affecting up to half of all women. However, they carry malignant potential, and their genetic architecture remains poorly defined. We conducted a genome-wide association s…

BackgroundHormonal contraceptives (HCs) are widely used and have well-documented population-level statistics. Previous studies with short follow-ups have focussed on individual HC use and side effects. However, the same aspects over longer …

STUDY QUESTION: Can a large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis identify genomic risk loci and likely involved genes for female genital tract (FGT) polyps, provide insights into the biological mechanism underlying their…

Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is a widespread occurrence among women of reproductive age and inflicts a substantial impact on their well-being and on health care expenses. To better characterize the genetic architecture of HMB, we conducte…
