Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) after reduced intensity conditioning.
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) following myeloablative (conventional) conditioning regimen is associated with a high incidence of transplant-related morbidity and mortality, limiting its use to younger patients without medical co-morbidities. Over the past few years, it has become more evident that the alloreactivity of transplanted donor immunocompetent cells against...
متن کاملSuccessful allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for GATA2 deficiency.
We performed nonmyeloablative HSCT in 6 patients with a newly described genetic immunodeficiency syndrome caused by mutations in GATA2-a disease characterized by nontuberculous mycobacterial infection, monocytopenia, B- and NK-cell deficiency, and the propensity to transform to myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myelogenous leukemia. Two patients received peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) from ma...
متن کاملHematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Thalassemia
Thalassemia is an autosomal recessive disorder associated with defective synthesis of the α- or β-chain of hemoglobin. For β-thalassemia major patients, therapeutic options are either monthly red cell transfusions and chelation therapy or allogeneic stem cell transplant. Stem cell transplant is the only curative approach and success is inversely correlated with the degree of iron overload and h...
متن کاملPediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
The introduction and evolution of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) could be traced back to 1950s, to the studies on interactions among irradiation, covering spleen and bone marrow from it and injection of bone marrow cells. Today, HSCT is considered a well-established, effective and promising means of therapy for various malignant and non-malignant medical conditions, both in chil...
متن کاملAllogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation for myelodysplastic syndrome.
Transplantation is the only known cure for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). While some comparative analyses have demonstrated early transplantation to be the preferred strategy for all MDS patients, many of these analyses are biased. Using newly identified prognostic factors and models, a rational approach to transplantation can be undertaken. Factors such as transfusion dependency, cytogenetics...
