Objective: To study the timing of the effect of linzagolix, an oral GnRH antagonist, on significant reduction in heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) in women with uterine fibroids.
Design: The study used pooled data from PRIMROSE1 and PRIMROSE2, two double-blind, similar placebo-controlled trials of linzagolix in US and Europe, respectively. Eligible participants were randomized equally across four treatment arms (linzagolix 100mg and 200mg, with and without concomitant hormonal add-back therapy [ABT] consisting of 1 mg estradiol and 0.
Actinobacteriophage Magritte was isolated from soil in Columbia, TN using as a host. Magritte is a singleton with a siphovirus morphology and a large genome of 133,228 bp encoding 250 predicted genes, including 26 tRNA genes.

Several regularized generalized linear models have been proposed for hierarchical selection of gene by environment interaction effects, where a gene-environment interaction effect is selected only if the corresponding genetic main effect is also selected in the model. However, none of these methods allow to include random effects to account for population structure, subject relatedness and shared environmental exposure.
