Summary HLA ‐A*02:28, found in a Korean and a Japanese, was reported independently to the IMGT / HLA database in 2003 and 2005, respectively. We report here eight Taiwanese unrelated bone marrow hematopoietic stem cell donors carrying A*02:28 detected during our routine HLA typing exercise. The probable HLA ‐A, ‐B and ‐ DRB 1 haplotype in association with A*02:28 may be deduced from the eight marrow stem cell donor as A*02:28‐B*15:11‐ DRB 1*09:01. Our result suggests A*02:28‐B*15:11‐ DRB 1*09:01 is a conserved HLA haplotype restricted to Taiwanese.
