Meta-analysis identifies five novel loci associated with endometriosis highlighting key genes involved in hormone metabolism

Endometriosis is a heritable hormone-dependent gynecological disorder, associated with severe pelvic pain and reduced fertility; however, its molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here we perform a meta-analysis of 11 genome-wide association case-control data sets, totalling 17,045 endometrio...
