[Familial leukemia].
Two cases of acute myeloblastic leukemia were observed in a young 22 year old woman, then two years later, in her brother aged 16 years. The elder brother had died previously probably from the same disease. The very rare families in which more than two members had the same type of leukemia show the possible intervention of a hereditary factor in leukemogenesis.
