| Abstract: | The serum Gc, Hp and alpha 2HS phenotypes were examined in 64 subjects known to have the human T-lymphotropic leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) infection and in 60 uninfected subjects. There were no significant differences in the distributions of Gc, Hp and alpha 2HS phenotype and allele frequencies between any grouping of HTLV-I-infected subjects and the controls. No association between the Gc, Hp and alpha 2HS genotypes and susceptibility to adult T-cell leukemia was found. |
