A family predisposition to adult T-cell leukemia.
We report here the rare case of a family predisposed to adult T-cell leukemia (ATL). Six of seven siblings developed ATL with ages of onset of 77, 48, 60, 64, 72, and 62 years old. Although virological tests for human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 were unavailable for two of the six patients, all were diagnosed with ATL based on their clinical, hematological, and histopathological features. Two o...
متن کاملSpecific cutaneous manifestations in adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma
Background and aim: Adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is an aggresive malignancy which may occur in human T lymphotropic virus1(HTLV1) infected persons. HTLV1 is endemic in Khorasan with prevalence of 2.3% in general population. Since specific cutaneous manifestations of lymphoma may occur in a significant number of patients, we studied ATLL patients in Mashhad.Mate...
متن کاملThe human T-cell leukemia virus family, adult T cell leukemia, and AIDS.
Human T cell leukemia virus (HTL V) is the name by which we have designated a family of related retroviruses from humans. HTLV type I (HTLV-I) is the name we gave the first human retrovirus isolate. HTLV-I is endemic at low rates in different parts of the world, including southern Japan, the Caribbean, South and Central America, the southeastern United States, and especially in Africa. Seroepid...

متن کاملAltered expression of cell cycle regulators in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma patients
Abstract Background: Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is caused by human T-cell lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1). HTLV-1 oncogenes can induce malignancy through controlled gene expression of cell cycle checkpoints in the host cell. HTLV-I genes play a pivotal role in overriding cell cycle checkpoints and deregulate cellular division. In this study, we aimed to determine and comp...
