Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for inborn errors of immunity: 30-year single-center experience.

ABSTRACT: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) represents an effective treatment for a variety of inborn errors of immunity (IEI). We report the experience of children affected by IEI who received allo-HSCT over a period of 32 years at IRCCS Istituto Giannina Gaslini, Genoa, Italy. HSCTs were performed in 67 children with IEI. Kaplan-Meier estimates of overall survival (OS) rate at 5 years in the whole group of patients was 83.4% after a median follow-up of 4 years. Median age at transplant was 2.5 years. Eight allo-HSCTs were complicated by either primary or secondary graft failure (GF), the overall incidence of this complication being 10.9%. Incidence of grade 3-4 acute GvHD (aGvHD) was 18.7%, significantly lower in the haploidentical transplant cohort (p = 0.005).
