abstract：:Cytogenetically, uterine leiomyomata are the best investigated human tumours. The most frequent clonal abnormalities are structural rearrangements involving 12q14-15 and deletions of part of the long arm of chromosome 7. The present study investigated a possible growth advantage conferred by these abnormalities, when ...
