A woman with a T cell lymphoproliferative malignacy and heterozhgosity at
the X chromosome-linked locus for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6PD)
isoenzymes was studied to find the clonal origin of her circulating
neoplastic T cells. The red blood cells, polymorphonuclear cells, whole
mononuclear cells, and T cell-depleted mononuclear cells contained both A
and B isoenzymes of G-6-PD. In contrast, the tumor cells, separated by
using their capacity to form rosettes with sheep red blood cells, contained
only the B isoenzyme of G-6-PD. This observation strongly suggests the
monoclonality of this T cell malignancy.
