The successful correction of infantile osteopetrosis in an Asian child by bone marrow transplantation (BMT) from an HLA-A,B matched cousin donor is reported. Retrospective HLA molecular analysis revealed that patient and donor were incompatible for HLA-DPB1. Donor type cells detected in the patient after transplantation indicate successful engraftment. The patient is currently alive and well.

D006680 HLA Antigens Antigens determined by leukocyte loci found on chromosome 6, the major histocompatibility loci in humans. They are polypeptides or glycoproteins found on most nucleated cells and platelets, determine tissue types for transplantation, and are associated with certain diseases.

D006682 HLA-DP Antigens A group of the D-related HLA antigens (human) found to differ from the DR antigens in genetic locus and therefore inheritance. These antigens are polymorphic glycoproteins comprising alpha and beta chains and are found on lymphoid and other cells, often associated with certain diseases.

D015235 HLA-B Antigens Class I human histocompatibility (HLA) surface antigens encoded by more than 30 detectable alleles on locus B of the HLA complex, the most polymorphic of all the HLA specificities. Several of these antigens (e.g., HLA-B27, -B7, -B8) are strongly associated with predisposition to rheumatoid and other autoimmune disorders. Like other class I HLA determinants, they are involved in the cellular immune reactivity of cytolytic T lymphocytes.
