Multiomic analysis of uterine leiomyomas in self-described Black and White women: molecular insights into health disparities.

Our study shows that Black women have a higher prevalence of uterine leiomyomas harboring mutations in MED12 and that this mutational status correlates with increased tissue fibrosis compared with wild-type uterine leiomyomas. Our study provides insights into molecular alterations correlating with racial disparities in uterine leiomyomas and improves our understanding of the molecular etiology underlying uterine leiomyoma development within these populations.
