Matched unrelated bone marrow transplantation for combined immunodeficiency

Abstract: Summary:Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) from siblings is the treatment of choice for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of BMT from matched unrelated donors (MUD) in congenital immunodeficiencies when a sibling donor is unavailable. Sixteen consecutive patients with SCID (n = 9) and CID (n = 7), were referred for an unrelated donor search. Acceptable donors were found for all patients. Fifteen patients received busulfan and cyclophosphamide pre… Show more

“…Whole blood was analyzed for long-term donor engraftment as described previously. 19 Where a sex difference existed between donor and recipient, DNA was analyzed using a Y-specific probe (ZFX/ZFY) to confirm donor lymphocyte engraftment. In the absence of sex difference, RFLP analyses were performed by studying genetic polymorphism, which are due to a variable number of tandem repeats or (CA)n in varying regions in the genome.…”
