Abstract Uterine leiomyomata or fibroids are highly heritable, common, and benign tumors of the uterus with poorly understood etiology. Previous GWAS have reported 72 associated genes but included limited numbers of non-European individuals. Here, we identify 11 novel genes associated with fibroids across multi-ancestry and ancestry-stratified GWAS analyses.
