A somatic mutation of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A gene revealed in tumour cells of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is described. A patient with AML and her siblings were routinely typed for HLA in order to find a suitable donor for haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Sequencing-based typing of the initial patient's sample characterized by high proportion of blasts revealed unknown G/A exchange at position 781 of the HLA-A gene (exon 4) associated with HLA-A*02:01 allele. Importantly, this G781A variant was completely absent in the patient's remission sample obtained after the clearance of blasts. Our results are a reminder that HLA mutations in tumour cells may interfere with routine HLA typing and should always be considered, namely, in patients with haematological malignancies.
