Abstract

Clinical and laboratory data are described for two siblings who both developed adult T‐cell leukemia/lymphoma resulting from infection by human T lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV‐I). These findings suggest that genetic factors or virus‐specific factors may determine which HTLV‐I‐infected individuals will develop leukemia.
