Donor/recipient mixed chimerism does not predict graft failure in children with β-thalassemia given an allogeneic cord blood transplant from an HLA-identical sibling | Haematologica

摘要

Background Donor/recipient mixed chimerism has been reported to be associated with an increased risk of graft failure in patients with β-thalassemia given a bone marrow transplant. We investigated the relationship between the degree of mixed chimerism over time and clinical outcome of children undergoing cord blood transplantation for β-thalassemia.
