Tatiana Schlossberg, 35, has been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia with inversion 3, a rare blood-cancer mutation usually seen in older patients.

Schlossberg is the daughter of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, is married, and has two children.

Little is known about causes or risk factors.
