BACKGROUND/AIM: In patients with non-malignant diseases, mixed chimerism is not a rare phenomenon. The clinical impacts of chimerism following allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in children with congenital anaemia (CA) and severe aplastic anaemia (SAA) were analysed.
We studied twenty-seven consecutive children with congenital and acquired anaemia who had undergone allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantations. In the observed group of patients, the median of the follow-up was 6.12 years (2.00-14.8 years).
Overall survival (OS) did not depend on the type of disease p=0.1. OS did not significantly differ in patients who received more than 5x10/kg stem cells (91%) and those who received less than 5x10/kg (85%) (p=0.61). Two patterns of stable mixed chimerism (SMC) were observed: SMC (95-97% cells of the donor), and SMC with a fluctuation between 50-90% of the cells of the donor. None of the surviving patients received immunosuppression treatments of chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease (cGvHD).
Our results showed that mixed chimerism did not influence the survival of children with congenital and aplastic anaemia following allo-HSCT.
背景/目的:在非恶性疾病患者中,混合嵌合体并非罕见现象。本研究旨在分析儿童先天性贫血(CA)和重型再生障碍性贫血(SAA)患者接受异基因造血干细胞移植(allo-HSCT)后嵌合体的临床影响。
我们研究了 27 例连续接受 allo-HSCT 的先天性和获得性贫血儿童患者。在观察性患者组中,中位随访时间为 6.12 年(2.00-14.8 年)。
总生存(OS)与疾病类型无关(p=0.1)。接受超过 5x10/kg 干细胞的患者(91%)与接受低于 5x10/kg 干细胞的患者(85%)OS 无显著差异(p=0.61)。观察到两种稳定混合嵌合体(SMC)模式:SMC(供者细胞的 95-97%)和 SMC 波动在供者细胞的 50-90%之间。无存活患者接受慢性移植物抗宿主病(cGvHD)的免疫抑制治疗。
本研究结果表明,混合嵌合体不影响 allo-HSCT 后先天性和再生障碍性贫血儿童的生存。
