Genomic analyses of patients with acquired aplastic anemia(AA) revealed the presence of leukocytes lacking an HLA haplotype as a result of uniparental disomy of chromosome 6p in 13% of patients. The missing HLA haplotypes were strongly biased to HLA-A^* 02 : 01, A^* 02 : 06, A^* 31 : 01, and B^* 40 : 02, which were over-represented in Japanese AA cases. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes specific to hematopoietic stem cell-derived auto-antigens presented by the particular HLAs was thought to trigger the development of AA.
