TI  - Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) antibodies in pre-diagnostic 
      serum of patients with familial adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL).

AB  - In a study of 7498 American men of Japanese ancestry in Hawaii, 26 incident cases 
      of leukemia or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were identified after a follow-up period of 
      19 years. Two of the cases, who were brothers, were diagnosed with adult T-cell 
      leukemia/lymphoma (ATL). Both of these brothers had human T-cell lymphotropic 
      virus type I (HTLV-I) antibodies in their stored serum which were obtained 4 and 
      18 years before diagnosis. None of the 24 patients with other hematologic 
      malignancies or the 26 matched controls were HTLV-I antibody positive. This 
      finding lends further support for a role of HTLV-I in the etiology of adult 
      T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.
