Abstract
The yearly incidence of ATLL in the Uwajima district is 6.6 patients per 100,000 inhabitants aged over 40. The yearly morbidity rate from ATLL of persons in this district who are positive for HTLVβantibody and older than 40 is I patient per 1,631. Familial occurrence was observed in 9/38 families available for pedigree analyses. Even in the endemic area, the existence of positive HTLV antibody is remarkably high in ATLL families, suggesting that HTLV has been transmitted from generation to generation mainly within these particular families.

The incidence of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) and its impact on that of total non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) were evaluated in Nagasaki, an area in southwestern Japan where human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) is endemic. The first study area comprised 4 towns located on the K Islands

## Abstract Adult Tβcell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) patients are highly immunocompromised, but the underlying mechanism responsible for this state remains obscure. Recent studies demonstrated that __FOXP3__, which is a master control gene of naturally occurring regulatory T (Treg) cells, is expressed
