I think this may be reference for sickle cell disease transplantation.
Do you have similar observations in Thalassemia?”

“Outstanding outcomes in HLA-matched related donor transplant in adolescents and adults with sickle cell disease!
- 100% 2 year survival
- 0% Transplant related mortality
- 0% graft failure
- 0% Chronic Graft versus host disease
- Only 4% severe acute GVHD
Practice changing.
