Abstract excerpt
MED12 is a subunit of the multiprotein complex Mediator, an evolutionary-conserved regulator of transcription. Oncogenic mutations in exon 2 of MED12 occur in nearly 70% of uterine leiomyomas, and together with HMGA, represent the most common genetic anomalies in leiomyoma. This mutational anomaly represents a driver mutation. MED12 mutations are restricted to benign smooth muscle tumours (leiomyomas) of the...
