Abstract
122 human uterine leiomyomas, representing the main chromosomal aberrations seen in these tumours, were analyzed by Southern blotting. Probes for the four oncogenes, gli, fos, jun, and met, all localized in or close to the chromosomal breakpoints in leiomyomas, were used. In only one single leiomyoma, with a 7p+q- marker, was there evidence of rearrangement of one of the oncogenes, namely met.
