Bone marrow donors other than HLA genotypically identical siblings for patients with thalassemia. 1985

This report describes the successful bone marrow transplantation of three children with thalassemia who received bone marrow, one from an HLA identical but mixed lymphocyte culture-reactive sibling, the other two from an HLA phenotypically identical parent. Evidence of engraftment was detected early (19-21 days) in all three children and only grade II acute GvHD was observed in one patient. Our report indicates that thalassemic patients can be cured by bone marrow transplantation from selected donors other than HLA genotypically identical siblings.

D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D008297 Male Males
D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.

D006650 Histocompatibility Testing Identification of the major histocompatibility antigens of transplant DONORS and potential recipients, usually by serological tests. Donor and recipient pairs should be of identical ABO blood group, and in addition should be matched as closely as possible for HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in order to minimize the likelihood of allograft rejection.

D006680 HLA Antigens Antigens determined by leukocyte loci found on chromosome 6, the major histocompatibility loci in humans. They are polypeptides or glycoproteins found on most nucleated cells and platelets, determine tissue types for transplantation, and are associated with certain diseases.

D013789 Thalassemia A group of hereditary hemolytic anemias in which there is decreased synthesis of one or more hemoglobin polypeptide chains. There are several genetic types with clinical pictures ranging from barely detectable hematologic abnormality to severe and fatal anemia. Thalassemias
