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.
