## Abstract Experiments were undertaken to investigate a genetic event involved in leukemogenesis in adult Tโcell leukemia (ATL). For this purpose, the __p53__ gene was chosen for study, since alteration of the gene has been found in a wide variety of human cancers. Structures and expression of the

Loss of heterozygosity at 4 tumor-suppressor gene loci (pS3, apc, mcc and Rb) was investigated using polymerase chain reactions, in 49 esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma specimens from patients who had undergone curative resection. Mutations in the p53 gene within exons 5 to 8 were also examined. LO
In the pathogenesis of adult T cell leukemia (ATL), an oncogenetic role of the human T cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) Tax protein, viral escape from the host immune system, and host genetic changes have been proposed as contributory factors.
