Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) isoenzyme types of granulocytes were determined in 8 women with chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML). The patients were heterozygous at the X-linked G-6-PD locus for the common gene, GdB, and a variant, such as GdA, so that B and A enzyme types were found in skin cells. In contrast to these normal cells, only 1 G-6-PD type was found in CML granulocytes. The fact that such single enzyme phenotypes are found in CML granulocytes, but not in nonleukemic granulocytes, provides strong evidence that the disease has a clonal origin. Single enzyme phenotypes were also found in erythrocytes, platelets and cultured macrophages indicating that these cells have a common stem cell which is the site of the abnormality in CML. In the 1 studied patient, no evidence was found for involvement of cultured marrow fibroblasts. Clonal origin of CML excludes cell recruitment as a sole pathogenetic mechanism. The leukemia arises as a consequence of a rare initial event in a single cell, or a series of events occurs in a clone such that it evolves into CML, or both.
