Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) remains the only proven curative
therapy for the hematologic manifestation of Fanconi anemia (FA). Over the past 2 decades,
major advances have been made such that transplant outcomes have markedly improved.
With the development of in vitro fertilization and preimplantation genetic diagnosis, HLA-
matched sibling donor umbilical blood transplantation may be an option for more patients
with FA. Recently, the use of pluripotent stem cells has been explored as a novel approach …
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) remains the only proven curative therapy for the hematologic manifestation of Fanconi anemia (FA). Over the past 2 decades, major advances have been made such that transplant outcomes have markedly improved. With the development of in vitro fertilization and preimplantation genetic diagnosis, HLA-matched sibling donor umbilical blood transplantation may be an option for more patients with FA. Recently, the use of pluripotent stem cells has been explored as a novel approach to model the hematopoietic developmental defects in FA, and to provide a potential source of autologous stem cells that can be genetically manipulated and used to generate corrected hematopoietic progenitors.
