Endometriosis is a common gynecologic condition, characterized by the growth of endometrial-like epithelial and stromal cells at ectopic sites, most commonly within the peritoneal cavity. Disease symptoms associate poorly with lesion burden…

Endometriosis is a painful gynecological inflammatory disease affecting up to 10% of females. When released by sensory neurons, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) shapes immunity, a process known as neuroimmune communication. We previou…

To identify credible causal risk variants (CCVs) associated with different histotypes of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), we performed genome-wide association analysis for 470,825 genotyped and 10,163,797 imputed SNPs in 25,981 EOC cases an…

Endometriosis is a common gynecologic condition that causes chronic life-altering symptoms including pain, infertility, and elevated cancer risk. There is an urgent need for new non-hormonal targeted therapeutics to treat endometriosis, but…

Polygenic risk scores (PRS) for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) have the potential to improve risk stratification. Joint estimation of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) effects in models could improve predictive performance over standard…

Abstract Endometriosis is associated with increased risk of epithelial ovarian cancers (EOCs). Data from large endometriosis and EOC genome-wide association meta-analyses were used to estimate the genetic correlation and evaluate the causal…
