  • Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies novel risk loci for uterine fibroids within and across multiple ancestry groups - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40050615

    ABSTRACT: Uterine leiomyomata or fibroids are highly heritable, common, and benign tumors of the uterus with poorly understood etiology. Previous GWAS have reported 72 associated genes but included limited numbers of non-European individuals. Here, we identify 11 novel genes associated with fibroids across multi-ancestry and ancestry-stratified GWAS analyses. We replicate a known fibroid GWAS gene in African ancestry individuals and estimate the SNP-based heritability of fibroids in African ancestry populations as 15.9%. Using genetically predicted gene expression and colocalization analyses, we identify 46 novel genes associated with fibroids. These genes are significantly enriched in cancer, cell death and survival, reproductive system disease, and cellular growth and proliferation netwo

  • A Common Genetic Factor Underlies Genetic Risk for Gynaecological and Reproductive Disorders and Is Correlated with Risk to Depression - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37544299

    ABSTRACT: Abstract Introduction Sex steroid hormone fluctuations may underlie both reproductive disorders and sex differences in lifetime depression prevalence. Previous studies report high comorbidity among reproductive disorders and between reproductive disorders and depression. This study sought to assess the multivariate genetic architecture of reproductive disorders and their loading onto a common genetic factor and investigated whether this latent factor shares a common genetic architecture with female depression, including perinatal depression (PND). Method Using UK Biobank and FinnGen data, genome-wide association meta-analyses were conducted for nine reproductive disorders, and genetic correlation between disorders was estimated. Genomic Structural Equation Modelling identified a
