Reviewer's report: 
General 
he article is well written and concerns a subject where little studies previously have been published. Pedigree studies in uterine leiomyomatosis are nearly non existing. I would therefore recommend publication. 
I only think the length should be shortened significantly. At some stages in the introduction section 
the reader has the impression to deal with a review. Through the manuscript, the authors should focus on the genetic aspects only. 
Figure 1 is of poor quality and can easily be removed without altering the content. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Major Compulsory Revisions (that the author must respond to before a decision on publication can 
be reached) 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Minor Essential Revisions (such as missing labels on figures, or the wrong use of a term, which the 
author can be trusted to correct) 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Discretionary Revisions (which the author can choose to ignore)
