Abstract
A 74‐year old woman with Ph1‐negative chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and heterozygous for glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) was studied. Both A and B types of G6PD were found in skin. In contrast, white blood cells and platelets showed only a single G6PD type A. These results provide further evidence that Ph1‐negative CML has a stem cell origin and develops clonally.
