PG - 101602 LID - S0966-3274(22)00076-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.trim.2022.101602 [doi] AB - Mismatched human leukocyte antigen (HLA) loss is an essential mechanism involved in immune escape and recurrence in acute leukemia after haploidentical transplantation. Patients relapsing after transplantation with HLA loss have a poor prognosis, and are less likely to benefit from donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) from the original donor. Here, we report a patient with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia who relapsed within six months after haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) combined with unrelated umbilical cord blood (UCB) with a session of prophylactic DLI. This patient achieved transient remission after subsequent Interferon-alpha-1b treatment for two weeks but experienced a second relapse within one month. Genomic analysis by real-time PCR assay revealed that this patient had a loss of an entire mismatched HLA haplotype that was derived from her haploidentical donor. Haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation with prophylactic DLI might be a triggering event for HLA loss relapse after haploidentical transplantation combined with UCB. HLA loss should be considered in patients with post-HSCT relapse, especially in haploidentical transplantation. CI - Copyright (c) 2022. Published by Elsevier B.V.
