Excited to share my newest publication! Here I conducted a PheWAS of endometriosis in the UKB, finding an association with lower testosterone levels 🧐, which were supported in follow up genomic analyses! Generated a lot of interesting discussion on the origins of endometriosis

Laura lives with #endometriosis and is no stranger to the debilitating pain that it can cause.

Donate to IMB's endometriosis research fund this #UQGivingDay and help us understand this disease and find new ways to treat the pain.

#Endometriosis affects nearly 1 million Australians and is as common as asthma.

Exciting technology means we are closer than ever to understanding its cause but more research is still needed.

I'm thrilled to share my paper "Genomic characterisation of the overlap of endometriosis with 76 comorbidities identifies pleiotropic and causal mechanisms underlying disease risk" has been published in Human Genetics! Read here! https://t.co/fI6vmor3qy

[Isabelle McGrath @IsabelleMcGr]

This work highlights endometriosis as a chronic systemic disease, with genetic explanations for many of its comorbid traits and disorders. Important implications for understanding endometriosis, as well as for holistic treatment of endometriosis patients!
