Abstract excerpt
The FH gene encodes the fumarate hydratase of the Krebs cycle and functions as a homotetramer to catalyze the hydration of fumarate to malate. Mutations in FH result in uterine leiomyomas, a rare autosomal dominant inherited metabolic disease. However, how FH mutations result in this disease is poorly understood. Here, the FH mutation c.557G>A (p.S186N) was identified in a family with uterine leiomyomas...
