Breakthrough in Uterine Fibroid Research! A Northwestern Medicine study has made significant progress in understanding uterine fibroids. Key findings: ➡️ 24 new risk loci identified: Researchers analyzed data from over 20,000 fibroid cases and pinpointed 24 new genetic locations associated with an increased risk of developing fibroids. ➡️ Immune cells implicated: Previously, smooth muscle cells contribute to uterine fibroids. This study highlights the role of certain immune cells as well. ➡️ Nearly 400 genes linked to fibroids: By integrating various data sets, the research team identified nearly 400 genes potentially contributing to fibroid development. ➡️ More inclusive research: This study included data from diverse ancestries, providing a more comprehensive picture of fibroid risk compared to past studies.
