Enhancing genetic association power in endometriosis through unsupervised clustering of clinical subtypes identified from electronic health records
Research square ·doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-5004325/v1

Endometriosis is a complex and heterogeneous condition affecting 10% of reproductive-age women, and yet, it often goes undiagnosed for several years. Limited observed heritability (7%) of large genetic association studies may be attributabl…

Enhancing Genetic Association Power in Endometriosis through Unsupervised Clustering of Clinical Subtypes Identified from Electronic Health Records
medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences ·doi:10.1101/2024.04.22.24306092

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis affects 10% of reproductive-age women, and yet, it goes undiagnosed for 3.6 years on average after symptoms onset. Despite large GWAS meta-analyses (N > 750,000), only a few dozen causal loci have been identified. …

Genome-wide association and epidemiological analyses reveal common genetic origins between uterine leiomyomata and endometriosis
Nature communications ·doi:10.1038/s41467-019-12536-4

Abstract Uterine leiomyomata (UL) are the most common neoplasms of the female reproductive tract and primary cause for hysterectomy, leading to considerable morbidity and high economic burden. Here we conduct a GWAS meta-analysis in 35,474 …

Genome-wide association analysis identifies 27 novel loci associated with uterine leiomyomata revealing common genetic origins with endometriosis
·doi:10.1101/324905

Uterine leiomyomata (UL), also known as uterine fibroids, are the most common neoplasms of the reproductive tract and the primary cause for hysterectomy, leading to considerable impact on women’s lives as well as high economic burden 1,2 . …
