Abstract excerpt
Human leucocyte antigen (HLA) modifications observed in blast cells in haematologic malignancies can play an important role in disease progression and its therapy. Here we describe an insertion/deletion mutation in the second exon of HLA-B*39:01 that occurred in the blast cells of a patient with B-ALL. This mutation was not present in the nonleukemic cells, in which HLA-B*39:01 was normally expressed.
