HLA-mismatched transplants with either in vitro depletion of CD3+ T-cell receptor (TCR)αβ/CD19 (TCRαβ) cells or in vivo T-cell depletion using posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY) have been increasingly used for patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEIs). We performed a retrospective multicenter study via the EBMT registry on 306 children with IEIs undergoing their first transplant between 2010 and 2019 from an HLA-mismatched donor using TCRαβ (n = 167) or PTCY (n = 139). The median age for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) was 1.

Analysis of the surfaceome of a blood cell subset requires cell sorting, followed by surface protein enrichment. Here, we present a protocol combining magnetically activated cell sorting (MACS) and surface biotinylation of the target cell subset from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). We describe the steps for isolating target cells and their in-column surface biotinylation, followed by isolation and mass spectrometry analysis of biotinylated proteins.

Aim: Extracorporeal photochemotherapy (ECP) is emphasized chiefly as it has a high safety profile. However, the genotoxic effects of ECP are not known. This experimental study aimed to assess the potential genotoxic impact of ECP treatment by the AKLIDES system, a new generation standardized and automated evaluation method.

We report the national data on the outcomes of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for thalassemia major (TM) patients in Turkey on behalf of the Turkish Pediatric Stem Cell Transplantation Group. We retrospectively enrolled 1469 patients with TM who underwent their first HSCT between 1988 and 2020 in 25 pediatric centers in Turkey. The median follow-up duration and transplant ages were 62 months and 7 years, respectively; 113 patients had chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) and the cGVHD rate was 8.

Article Synopsis
  • Sitosterolemia is a condition characterized by high levels of plant sterols due to increased absorption and reduced excretion, causing symptoms like xanthomas, anemia, and thrombocytopenia.
  • A 10-year-old boy with pancytopenia and macrothrombocytopenia was studied, revealing a new genetic variant related to the ABCG5 gene, which is linked to Sitosterolemia.
  • Treatment with a restricted diet and ezetimibe significantly lowered the patient's plant sterol levels, highlighting the importance of considering Sitosterolemia in children with subtle hematological signs.
