Abstract

A 2-year-old boy with the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome has been treated by bone-marrow transplantation. An initial attempt to transplantation without extensive preparation of the recipient failed. Subsequently the recipient was prepared with a 4-day course of cyclophosphamide followed by bone-marrow transplantation from a sister identical at HL-A— the major histocompatibility locus in man. 6 weeks after transplantation the patient is chimaric and has shown no evidence of graft-versus-host disease.
