H19 and leiomyoma: Given the link between a H19 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and increased risk and tumor size of UFs, and the existence of multiple fibroid subtypes driven by key pathway genes regulated by H19, we propose a unifying mechanism for pathogenesis of uterine fibroids mediated by H19 and identify a pathway for future exploration of novel target therapies for uterine leiomyomas.
