Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 6p, where the HLA genes are located, can result in incorrect homozygosity findings during HLA genotyping in patients with hematologic malignancies. The degree of HLA compatibility between donor and recipient is crucial in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Therefore, we present a case of false homozygosity in HLA genotyping due to LOH on chromosome 6p in a patient...
