We studied 5 patients with essential thrombocythemia utilizing glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) enzyme as a cell marker for determining clonality. One of the patients was found to be heterozygous for isoenzymes B and A in the nonhaemopoietic tissues such as fibroblasts, but manifested only isoenzyme type B in the erythrocytes, neutrophils, and platelets. Our studies support the concept that essential thrombocythemia is a clonal disorder arising in a multipotent stem cell.
