Abstract excerpt
Somatic mutations and genomic alterations are frequent events in the clonal evolution of hematologic malignancies. Recent studies have reported copy neutral loss of heterozygosity (LOH) for the mismatched human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotype in patients relapsed after haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for a hematologic malignancy. Herein, we report 15 cases of somatic mutations in the HLA...
