Abstract excerpt
To identify HLA alleles closely involved in the autoantigen presentation in acquired aplastic anemia (AA), we studied the HLA allelic loss frequencies of 312 AA patients, including 43 patients with loss of heterozygosity of 6p chromosome (6pLOH). An analysis of the HLA alleles contained in the lost haplotype revealed HLA-B*40:02 to be the most frequently lost allele. When we examined 28 AA (12 6pLOH[+] and 16...
