Admixture mapping of genetic variants for uterine fibroids.

Journal of human genetics - 1 Sept 2015

Zhang Kui, Wiener Howard, Aissani Brahim

Abstract excerpt

Uterine leiomyoma (UL) are benign neoplasms arising from the smooth muscle cells of the uterus. One of the established risk factors for UL is African American ethnicity. Studies have consistently shown that African Americans have two to three times higher risk compared with that of non-Hispanic Whites. However, there is still no adequate explanation for the higher risk among African Americans. To investigate the...
