Involvement of 10q22 in leiomyoma

Cancer Genet Cytogenet. 1993 Sep;69(2):132-5. doi: 10.1016/0165-4608(93)90089-5.

Abstract

Cytogenetic investigation of uterine leiomyomas revealed a rearranged 10q22 present in nine tumors as a clonal change in most of the cells analyzed. These findings indicate that abnormalities involving chromosome 10 and, particularly 10q22, may characterize a cytogenetic subgroup of uterine leiomyomas.
