โœฆ Synopsis

Uterine leiomyoma is a benign smooth muscle tumor of the myometrium and is the most commonly encountered neoplasm in women of reproductive age. As for most benign tumors, the pathogenesis of leiomyoma remains obscure, especially at the molecular genetic level. The purpose of this study was to perform a genomewide allelotype analysis to identify potential sites of tumor suppressor gene inactivation. Fifty-two cases of uterine leiomyoma were subjected to allelotype analysis by using matched pairs of tumor and blood DNA. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) was assessed at 61 microsatellite markers distributed throughout the genome and representing all 41 chromosome arms. In general, LOH was very rare except on chromosome 7q, where LOH was observed in 34% of all informative tumors. Fine-deletion mapping with 25 microsatellite markers from the 7q22 region revealed a minimal deletion unit of approximately 4 cM, bounded by the markers D7S2453 proximally and D7S496 distally, that probably harbors a novel tumor suppressor gene involved in the etiology of this tumor.

## Abstract Somatic interstitial deletions of chromosome segment 7q22โ€“q31 in uterine leiomyomas are a frequent event, thought to be indicative of a tumor suppressor gene in the region.

Radiation-induced acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs) in the mouse are characterized by chromosome 2 deletions. Previous studies showed that a minimal deleted region (mdr) of ฯณ6.5 cM is lost from one homologue in chromosome 2-deleted AMLs. An AML tumor suppressor gene is proposed to map within this mdr.
