Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is characterized by the expansion of a PIG-A mutated hematopoietic stem cell. An immune-mediated origin has been suggested for this disease. Because HLA genes represent a susceptibility factor for autoimmunity, we investigated HLA genotype in 42 Italian PNH patients compared with 301 control subjects of the same ethnic origin. A significantly increased frequency of the HLA class I alleles A*0201 (p < 0.05), B*1402 (p < 0.001), and Cw*0802 (p < 0.005), and of the HLA class II DRB1*1501 (p < 0.01) with the linked DQB1*0602 (p
