Abstract
Two cases of acute leukaemia, one lymphoblastic and the other myeloblastic, following chronic exposure to benzene in two relatives, a man and his paternal uncle, are presented. The possibly significant role of genetic predisposition is discussed. It was concluded that some genetic factors were triggered by chronic exposure to benzene in these patients.Keywords
