- Mechanical forces in a constrained cellular environment were recently established as a facilitator of chromosomal damage. Whether this could contribute to tumorigenesis is not known. Uterine leiomyomas are common neoplasms that display relatively few chromosomal aberrations. We hypothesized that if mechanical forces contribute to chromosomal damage, signs of this could be seen in uterine leiomyomas from parous women. We examined the karyotypes of 1946 tumors, and found a striking overrepresentation of chromosomal damage associated with parity. We then subjected myometrial cells to physiological forces similar to those encountered during pregnancy, and found this to cause DNA breaks and a DNA repair response. While mechanical forces acting in constrained cellular environments may thus contribute to neoplastic degeneration, and genesis of uterine leiomyoma, further studies are needed to prove possible causality of the observed association. No evidence for progression to malignancy was found.

- Ovarian carcinoma is the fourth most common cause of cancer death in women. The cause and pathogenesis of this disease has remained obscure. Galactose, the hydrolyzing product of the milk sugar lactose, has been hypothesized to be toxic to ovarian epithelial cells and consumption of dairy products and lactase persistence has been suggested to be a risk factor for ovarian carcinoma. In adults, downregulation of lactase depends on a variant C/T-13910 at the 5' end of the lactase gene. To explore whether lactase persistence is related to the risk of ovarian carcinoma we determined the C/T-13910 genotype in a cohort of 782 women with ovarian carcinoma. The C/T-13910 genotype was defined by solid phase minisequencing from 327 Finnish, 303 Polish, 152 Swedish patients and 938 Finnish, 296 Polish and 97 Swedish healthy individuals served as controls. Lactase persistence did not associate significantly with increased risk for ovarian carcinoma in the Finnish odds ratio (OR = 0.77, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.57-1.05, p = 0.097), in the Polish (OR = 0.95, 95% Cl = 0.68-1.33, p = 0.75), or in the Swedish populations (OR = 1.63, 95% Cl = 0.65-4.08, p = 0.29). Our results do not support the hypothesis that lactase persistence increases the ovarian carcinoma risk. On the contrary, lactase persistence may decrease the ovarian carcinoma risk at least in the Finnish population.
