Fusion of a Sequence from HEI10 (14q11) to the HMGIC Gene at 12ql5 in a Uterine Leiomyoma
1 Feb 2001
Abstract excerpt
Uterine leiomyoma, a benign smooth-muscle tumor of the myometrium, is the most commonly encountered neoplasm in women of reproductive age. Band q15 of chromosome 12 is often rearranged in benign mesenchymal tumors such as uterine leiomyomas, and the HMGIC gene, encoding a protein of the high-mobility-group (HMG), is present in that region. Using 3' rapid amplification of cDNA ends (3'RACE) experiments, we...
