Chromosome analysis of short-term cultures from uterine leiomyomas revealed trisomy 12 in six cases. In four of the tumors + 12 was the only karyotypic change. The fifth case also had trisomy 4, whereas the sixth had loss of one X chromosome as an additional aberration. These findings indicate that trisomy 12 characterizes a new cytogenetic subgroup of uterine leiomyoma.
对子宫平滑肌瘤短期培养物进行的染色体分析显示,6例存在12号染色体三体。在其中4个肿瘤中,+12是唯一的核型改变。第5例还存在4号染色体三体,而第6例除了该异常外,还存在一条X染色体缺失。这些发现表明,12号染色体三体是子宫平滑肌瘤一个新的细胞遗传学亚组的特征。
