Meta-analysis of genome-wide association data identifies two loci influencing age at menarche

André Uitterlinden and colleagues report loci at 9q31.2 and LIN28B associated with age at menarche from a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies including 17,510 females from eight different population-based cohorts. We conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association data to detect ge...
