Fibroids display an anti-angiogenic gene expression profile when compared with adjacent myometrium
4 Aug 2003
Abstract excerpt
The aetiology of uterine fibroids remains unknown, despite causing significant gynaecological morbidity. Fibroids have a reduced microvascular density when compared with adjacent myometrial tissue. The aim of this study was to identify genes with differential expression between fibroid and adjacent normal myometrium, particularly genes with a role in angiogenesis. Total RNA was extracted from fibroid/myometrium...
