Molecular pathogenesis of uterine smooth muscle tumors from transcriptional profiling

Abstract excerpt

Uterine smooth muscle tumors range from the very common benign leiomyoma to the uncommon, but frequently lethal, leiomyosarcoma. Morphological and clinical differences between these tumors are presumed to result from differences in gene expression. To test this hypothesis, RNAs from four normal uterine myometria, seven uterine leiomyomas, and nine uterine leiomyosarcomas were profiled using microarrays of...
