 AB    Limited nucleotide sequences of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I
       (HTLV-1) provirus isolated from the first case of a Korean patient with
       HTLV-I associated myelopathy and tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP)
       were analysed and compared with other isolates from different regions of
       the world. The sequences of the env, LTR regions (536bp, 690bp
       respectively) showed 98.7%, 99.3% homologies with the prototype HTLV-I,
       ATK-1, isolated from a Japanese Adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) patient. A
       comparison between other isolates from different geographical origins
       revealed that the Korean HTLV-I isolate is more closely related to
       Japanese isolates than to those from other geographical origins.
