With advances in conditioning strategies and graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prevention, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a safe, curative treatment option for pediatric patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). However, donor options have been limited in non-myeloablative matched sibling donor (MSD) setting by excluding recipients with major ABO blood group incompatible donors due to concern of the risk of significant complications such as pure red cell aplasia (PRCA). We present three cases of successful HSCT with major ABO incompatibility with their donors, and discuss strategies to safely expand the donor pool to include these donors.

Background Aims: With novel therapies improving prognosis, the complications of multiple myeloma after multi-line treatment, particularly myelosuppression, have become a crucial determinant of long-term outcomes. Non-myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a feasible option, but the transplant-related mortality rate remains high. Our study presents a relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patient with a 9-year disease history.

Individuals with sickle cell disease (SCD) have a unique type of dyslipidemia characterized by low total cholesterol (TC), low low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), and normal triglycerides (TG). This lipid state is theorized to be cardioprotective against atherosclerosis. In SCD, hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) offers a potentially curative therapy.

Hereditary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (hPAP) is a rare lung-related primary immunodeficiency. In hPAP, variants of genes encoding the heterodimeric GM-CSF receptor alpha or beta-chains (CSF2Rα, CSF2Rβ) lead to perturbations in GM-CSF signalling. These perturbations impair the scavenging function of pulmonary alveolar macrophages leading to accumulation of surfactant proteins and lipids within the alveoli.
