Here the authors identify gene targets and causal cell types affected by genetic risk loci in uterine fibroids by combining meta-analysis on existing fibroid genome-wide association studies and integrated the identified risk loci and potentially causal single nucleotide polymorphisms with epigenomics, transcriptomics, 3D chromatin organization from diverse cell types as well as primary uterine fibroids patient’s samples.
