Is the chromosome band 1p36 another hot-spot for rearrangements in uterine leiomyoma?
Two uterine leiomyomas showing involvement of bands 1p36 and 2p24 are reported. These rearrangements may indicate a new hot-spot for chromosome changes in this neoplasia, 1p36, and confirm the existence of a specific subgroup in leiomyomas, t(1;2)(p36;p24).
