Cytogenetic studies were performed on 16 patients with ATL seen in Northern Kyushu island; nine were patients with acute type leukemia, one with crisis type and five with lymphoma type. The serum antibody for HTLV-1 (ATLA) was positive in all patients and the phenotype of ATL cells were ERFC+, OKT3+, OKT4+, OKT6-, OKT8-, OKT10+, OKla1+/- and Tac+. Abnormal findings of chromosomes were observed in 15 patients. Thirteen patients were in near diploid range. One patient was in triploid range and one patient was in tetraploid range. The polyploid karyotypes were found only in lymphoma type patients. Trisomy 3 and trisomy 7 were observed each in three patients with acute type of ATL. The most frequent abnormal rearrangement was observed in the long arm of chromosome 6 and the break occurred at band 6q15 and 6q21 each in four patients in this series.
