The Roles of Non-Coding RNAs in the Pathogenesis of Uterine Fibroids

Abstract excerpt

Uterine fibroids are benign smooth muscle tumors that affect ~70% of women, with Black women being affected at a disproportionate rate. The growth of these tumors is driven by estrogen and progesterone. Driver mutations in genes such as MED12, HMGA2, and FH also play roles in the development and growth of fibroids. Despite their high prevalence, the pathogenesis of fibroids remains largely unknown, leading to a...
