Commencing our study a recent report provided evidence for the expression of LTBP-1 and FBN-1 in leiomyomas of three different sizes with higher levels of expression in the medium-sized (3–5 cm) tumors compared with myometrium in the proliferative phase, while FBN-1 mRNA expression was size-independent [31]. This evidence concerns the gene LTBP1 and leiomyoma.
