Evidence That Geographic Variation in Genetic Ancestry Associates With Uterine Fibroids

2021-05-13

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Uterine fibroids disproportionately impact African American (AA) women. Evidence suggests AA women have earlier onset and higher cumulative risk. This risk disparity may be due an imbalance of risk alleles in one parental geographic subpopulation relative to others. We investigated ancestry proportions for the 1000 Genomes phase 3 populations clustered into 6 geographic groups for assoc...
