Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is the etiologic agent
for adult T-cell leukemia (ATL). In vivo, nuclei of ATL cells
are morphologically altered [reviewed in (1)] and
karyotypically abnormal [reviewed in (2)] with frequent
trisomies (e.g., chromosomes 3 and 7). Lymphocytes infected ex
vivo with HTLV-1 also show chromosomal changes (3).
Collectively, these findings suggest that a loss in the ability of the
