Correction of bone marrow failure in dyskeratosis congenita by bone marrow transplantation

Bone Marrow Transplantation volume 23, pages 299–301 (1999)Cite this article

Abstract

Dyskeratosis congenita is recognized by its dermal lesions and constitutional aplastic anemia in some cases. We report successful allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in two siblings with this disease from their sister, and their long term follow-up. We used reduced doses of cyclophosphamide and busulfan for conditioning instead of total body irradiation. Also, we report late adverse effects of transplantation which are not distinguishable from the natural course of disease.
