Meta-analysis identifies five novel loci associated with endometriosis highlighting key genes involved in hormone metabolism

Endometriosis is a major cause of infertility. Molecular mechanisms underlying the disease involve genetic and environmental risk factors. In a meta-analysis of eleven GWA studies, Sapkota and colleagues identify five novel risk loci, implicating steroid sex hormone pathways in the pathogenesis.
