Abstract
We describe a patient with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia in whom assays of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and cytogenetic studies showed the disease to be clonal and karyotypically abnormal on presentation. When the patient entered a chemotherapy-induced complete clinical remission, the marrow progenitors and blood cells had normal morphologic features and a normal karyotype but were still derived from a single clone.
