Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and immunosuppressive therapy: implications of clonal haematopoiesis.

ABSTRACT: Aplastic anemia (AA) is a life-threatening bone marrow failure syndrome. The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has shed light on the link between somatic mutations (SM) and the efficacy of immunosuppressive therapy (IST) in AA patients. However, the relationship between SM and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has not been extensively explored. In this retrospective analysis, we examined 166 AA patients who received HSCT or IST at our institution between May 2019 and December 2023. NGS was conducted on 66 genes within bone marrow cells to investigate the correlation between SM and the prognosis and therapeutic response in AA patients, as well as to assess the impact of mutation types on HSCT outcomes. Clinical data were gathered from 166 AA patients, comprising 84 mal
