Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for GATA2 Deficiency Using a Busulfan-Based Regimen.

ABSTRACT: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) reverses the bone marrow failure syndrome due to GATA2 deficiency. The intensity of conditioning required to achieve reliable engraftment and prevent relapse remains unclear. Here, we describe the results of a prospective study of HSCT in 22 patients with GATA2 deficiency using a busulfan-based conditioning regimen. The study included 2 matched related donor (MRD) recipients, 13 matched unrelated donor (URD) recipients, and 7 haploidentical related donor (HRD) recipients. MRD and URD recipients received 4 days of busulfan and 4 days of fludarabine. HRD recipients received low-dose cyclophosphamide for 2 days, fludarabine for 5 days, 2 to 3 days of busulfan depending on cytogenetics, and 200 cGy total body irradiation. MRD and URD re
