Clinical significance

Mutations in MED12 are responsible for at least two different forms of X-linked dominant mental retardation, Lujan-Fryns syndrome and FG syndrome, as well as instances of prostate cancer.

Mutations in MED12 are associated to uterine leiomyomas and breast fibroepithelial tumors (e.g. fibroadenoma and phyllodes tumors).
