Genome-wide association and epidemiological analyses reveal common genetic origins between uterine leiomyomata and endometriosis

Uterine leiomyomata (UL) or fibroids are neoplasms of the uterine smooth muscle associated with heavy menstrual bleeding and other female reproductive tract morbidity. Here, the authors identify eight previously undescribed genetic loci for UL and further look into genetic overlap with heavy menstru...
