Abstrakt: The article explores the correlation between genomic alterations and clinical features of hepatitis-associated aplastic anaemia (HAAA), focusing on the loss of HLA class I allele expression in male patients. The study found a higher prevalence of certain high-risk HLA alleles, particularly HLA-B*40:02, in patients with HAAA compared to those with idiopathic aplastic anaemia (iAA). The research sheds light on the immunopathological mechanisms underlying HAAA and emphasizes the significance of HLA-B*40:02 in the development of this condition, particularly in young men. Further studies are needed to deepen our understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of HAAA. [Extracted from the article]
