摘要

Hematopoietic stem cell transplant is curative of sickle cell disease (SCD) but limited by donor availability. Searches for 85 patients with SCD without matched sibling donors from 2009-2013 using modern techniques (allele-level HLA matching for unrelated donors and higher total nucleated cell doses for umbilical cord blood (UCB)) showed potential match probabilities of 20% for 8/8 HLA-matched unrelated donors, 84% for 7/8 donors, and 97% for two 4-6/6 UCBs suitable for ex-vivo expanded/double cord transplant. Searches performed by age 43 months would have a 90% chance of finding a suitable 5-6/6 UCB. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2015;62:1285-1287.
