* FTSE 100, FTSE 250 about flat

* Trade tensions linger

* Brexit uncertainty also curbs risk sentiment

Sept 30 (Reuters) - UK shares were steady on Monday as

investors largely opted for a wait-and-watch approach amid

simmering U.S.-China trade tensions and Brexit worries, and a

lack of significant corporate news.

The exporter-heavy FTSE 100 index .FTSE was roughly flat,

though GlaxoSmithKline GSK.L added 2% after its maintenance

therapy for a form of ovarian cancer reduced the risk of disease

progression or death by 38% in a late-stage study. The mid-cap FTSE 250 .FTMC was also flat by 0709 GMT.
