The next-generation RNA sequencing results were analyzed as fold change [leiomyomas\/paired myometrium, also known as differential expression (DF)], comparing specimens from White (n = 7) and Black (n = 12) patients. The analysis indicated that 95 genes were minimally changed in tumors from White (DF \u2248 1) but were significantly altered by more than 1.5-fold (up or down) in Black patients. Twenty-one novel genes were selected for confirmation in 69 paired fibroids by qRT-PCR. Among these 21, coding of transcripts for the differential expression of FRAT2, SOX4, TNFRSF19, ACP7, GRIP1, IRS4, PLEKHG4B, PGR, COL24A1, KRT17, MMP17, SLN, CCDC177, FUT2, MYO5B, MYOG, ZNF703, CDC25A, and CDCA7 was significantly higher, while the expression of DAB2 and CAV2 was significantly lower in tumors from Black or Hispanic patients compared with tumors from White patients. Western blot analysis revealed a greater differential expression of PGR-A and total progesterone (PGR-A and PGR-B) in tumors from Black compared with tumors from White patients. Collectively, we identified a set of genes uniquely expressed in a race\/ethnicity-dependent manner, which could form the underlying mechanisms for the racial disparity in fibroids and their associated symptoms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms241713441","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,30]],"date-time":"2023-08-30T09:44:46Z","timestamp":1693388686000},"page":"13441","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["The Influence of Race\/Ethnicity on the Transcriptomic Landscape of Uterine Fibroids"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1195-7054","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tsai-Der","family":"Chuang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Torrance, CA 90502, USA"},{"name":"The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation, Torrance, CA 90502, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nhu","family":"Ton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation, Torrance, CA 90502, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shawn","family":"Rysling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation, Torrance, CA 90502, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Derek","family":"Quintanilla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation, Torrance, CA 90502, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Drake","family":"Boos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation, Torrance, CA 90502, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jianjun","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation, Torrance, CA 90502, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hayden","family":"McSwiggin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation, Torrance, CA 90502, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation, Torrance, CA 90502, USA"},{"name":"Department of Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine at University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Omid","family":"Khorram","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Torrance, CA 90502, USA"},{"name":"The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation, Torrance, CA 90502, USA"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2","DOI":"10.1097\/GRF.0000000000000164","article-title":"Epidemiology of Uterine Fibroids: From Menarche to Menopause","volume":"59","author":"Wise","year":"2016","journal-title":"Clin.
