The clinical significance of paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH) in children with aplastic anaemia (AA) remains unclear. We retrospectively studied 57 children with AA between 1992 and 2010. During the follow-up, five patients developed clinical PNH, in whom somatic PIGA mutations were detected by targeted sequencing. The 10-year probability of clinical PNH development was 10.2% (95% confidence interval, 3.6-20.7%). Furthermore, the detection of minor PNH clones by flow cytometry at AA diagnosis was a risk factor for the subsequent development of clinical PNH. These patients with PNH clones at AA diagnosis should undergo periodic monitoring for potential clinical PNH development.
