Science, 1965•science.orgThe sex-linked electrophoretic variants A and B of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase
were studied in 86 samples of myometrium and 27 leiomyomas from five heterozygous
women. All but one sample of myometrium had both A and B bands in equal or nearly equal
amounts. In contrast to this, all of the leiomyomas had either an A band or a B band. Both A
and B tumors were found in all uteri. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that
these tumors arose from single cells.
