Abstract excerpt
Uterine fibroids (UFs) or leiomyoma are frequently associated with somatic mutations in the mediator complex subunit 12 (MED12) gene; however, the function of these mutations in human UF biology is yet to be determined. Herein, we determined the functional role of the most common MED12 somatic mutation in the modulation of oncogenic Wnt4/β-catenin and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathways. Using...
