Translocation breakpoints upstream of theHMGIC gene in uterine leiomyomata suggest dysregulation of this gene by a mechanism different from that in lipomas
1 Sept 1996
Abstract excerpt
Uterine leiomyomata are the most common pelvic tumors in women and are the indication for more than 200,000 hysterectomies annually in the United States. Rearrangement of chromosome 12 in bands q14-q15 is characteristic of uterine leiomyomata and other benign mesenchymal tumors, and we identified a yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) spanning chromosome 12 translocation breakpoints in a uterine leiomyoma, a...
