Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: Could the direct contribution of genetic variants to the pathophysiology of uterine fibroids and the contribution mediated by age at menarche be different? SUMMARY ANSWER: Age at menarche plays a mediation role in the genetic influence on uterine fibroids, and four causal genetic mechanisms underlying the age at menarche-mediated effects of common genetic loci on uterine fibroid development were...
