Abstract: | We report the result of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in a 14-year-old boy who was neurologically severely involved with the childhood form of adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) and received marrow from his HLA-A and B nonidentical, MLC-nonreactive paternal donor without T-cell depletion processing. Bone marrow transplantation corrected the excess content of very long chain fatty acid in plasma but did not arrest the deterioration of the neurological status during 3.5-year post-transplant follow-up period. Since partially matched or unrelated donors have been applied to clinical BMT successfully with current new techniques, ALD patients will have a better prognosis when they are transplanted in status of mild and early involvement. Our first experience may be helpful in more trials of BMT for genetic leukodystrophy in Taiwan. |
