The chromosome 14q11 anomaly has been reported to be specific to adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) and this anomaly has also been confirmed in preleukemic state of ATL (pre-ATL) patients though the frequency is low. In an attempt to clarify if the same chromosome aberrations could be found also at the stage of HTLV-I carrier and if there is any cytogenetic difference from non-HTLV-I carriers, a cytogenetic study of lymphocytes stimulated with phytohemagglutinin in three HTLV-I healthy carriers and three non-HTLV-I carriers in an ATL family was performed. The results were as follows. 1. In three HTLV-I carriers, 7 of 311 cells examined (2.3%) showed chromosome aberrations, and 4 cells (1.3%) had 14q11 anomaly. 2. In three non-HTLV-I carriers, 4 of 260 cells examined (1.5%) showed chromosome aberrations, whereas no cells had 14q11 anomaly. These findings suggest that 14q11 anomaly is already present at the stage of HTLV-I carrier and seems to be an important cytogenetic clue to the pathogenesis of ATL.
