The frequencies of the HLA-B*4002 and HLAA*0206 alleles in patients with aplastic anemia (AA) (n=32; 21.9%) and paroxysmal nocturanl hemoglobinuria (PNH) (n=24; 22.9%), respectively, were significantly different from those in controls (n=371; 8.6%, p<0.002 and 7.7%, p<0.001, respectively), suggesting that each specific allele in AA or PNH may be related to the immunologic pathophysiology of these disorders. Autoreactive T lymphocytes are implicated in the immune mechanisms involved in the bone marrow failure (BMF) syndrome, including aplastic anemia (AA), paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). 1 In order to clarify the frequency and some clinical significance of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I alleles in the BMF syndrome, we investigated these alleles using a high-resolution method of genotyping 2,3 in 78 Japanese patients with BMF, including 32 with AA, 24 with PNH, and 22 with MDS. The diagnosis and grading of the severity of AA were based on the criteria of the International Agranulocytosis and Aplastic Anemia Study Group 4 and that of Frickhofen et al., 5 respectively. The diagnosis of PNH and MDS was made according to the International PNH Interest Group criteria
