HLA class I expression was normally expressed in CD34+ blasts and during myeloid differentiation in MDS patients; however, the copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity in the HLA region appeared to favor MDS progression to AML and selective downregulation of HLA class I enhanced KIR AA protection against different leukemia types [18–21]. Here, KIR3DL1 is linked to acute myeloid leukemia.
