Abstract excerpt
Uterine leiomyomas, or fibroids, are the most common human tumors. Based on histopathology, they can be divided into common leiomyomas and various relatively rare subtypes that mimic malignancy in one or more aspects. Recently, we showed that exon 2 of mediator complex subunit 12 (MED12) is mutated in up to 70% of common fibroids. To investigate the frequency of MED12 exon 2 mutations in histopathological uterine...
