摘要

Aplastic anemia (AA) results from T-cell-mediated destruction of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), driving clonal hematopoiesis via loss of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) risk alleles (HLA loss-of-function mutations or uniparental disomy 6p, UPD6p), paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria and clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) mutations. Here genomic profiling of 619 patients with AA revealed clonal hematopoiesis in 69% of cases, with ASXL1, BCOR and BCORL1 identified as the most frequent CHIP mutations in pediatric cases. Single-cell multi-omics analysis of 304,902 cells from 48 samples uncovered complex branching clonal architecture, with a median of three HLA loss events per patient, converging to inactivate HLA risk alleles. Single-cell whole-genome sequencing (WGS) resolved up to 15 HLA loss clones per patient and phylogenetic reconstruction indicated that these clones originated years before diagnosis. Long-read WGS precisely mapped UPD6p breakpoints and HLA methylation. HLA loss conferred a protective effect against CHIP, evidenced by their near-absent co-occurrence. Longitudinal single-cell analysis demonstrated that long-lived clones were enriched in the CD34+ HSPC compartment. These findings reveal parallel evolutionary pathways used by hematopoietic cells to evade immune attack.
