Genome-wide linkage and association analyses implicate FASN in predisposition to Uterine Leiomyomata
Uterine leiomyomata (UL), the most prevalent pelvic tumors in women of reproductive age, pose a major public health problem given their high frequency, associated morbidities, and most common indication for hysterectomies. A genetic compone…
