- Chediak-Higashi Syndrome (CHS)
- Griscelli Syndrome
- Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH)
- Acceptable stem cell sources include:
- HLA identical or 1 antigen matched sibling donor eligible to donate bone marrow
- HLA identical or up to a 1 antigen mismatched unrelated BM donor
- Sibling donor cord blood with acceptable HLA match and cell dose as per current
institutional standards
- Single unrelated umbilical cord blood unit with 0-2 antigen mismatch and minimum
cell dose of >5 x 10^7 nucleated cells/kg as per current institutional
guidelines
- Double unrelated umbilical cord blood units that are:
- up to 2 antigen mismatched to the patient
- up to 2 antigen mismatched to each other
- minimum cell dose of at least one single unit must be ≥ 3.5 x 10^7
nucleated cells/kg
- combined dose of both units must provide a total cell dose of ≥ 5 x 10^7
nucleated cells/kg
- Age: 0 to 50 years
- Performance status: Karnofsky Performance status must be at least 70% for patients >
16 years of age or Lansky Play Score ≥ 70 for patients > 16 years of age
- Consent: able to provide appropriate voluntary written consent
- Organ Function
- Renal: glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≥ 30% of predicted and serum creatinine
≤ 2 x upper limit of normal for age
- Hepatic: aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase (AST or ALT) ≤ 5 x
upper limit of normal (ULN) and bilirubin ≤ 5 x ULN
- Cardiac: cardiac function ≥ 40% normal by echocardiogram
Exclusion Criteria
- pregnant or breastfeeding
- active, uncontrolled infection and/or HIV positive
- acute hepatitis or evidence of moderate or severe portal fibrosis or cirrhosis on
biopsy
Donor Section Criteria:
- in general good health, in the opinion of the evaluating health care professional
- adequate partial prothrombin time (PTT), hemoglobin, white blood cell, and platelet
counts
- for females of child bearing potential not pregnant or breastfeeding (must have a
negative pregnancy test within 7 days of donation)
- no active infection
- voluntary written consent
In the case where more than one donor meets the eligibility criteria, donor selection will
be guided by the following considerations:
- Class I HLA Antigens: It will always be preferable to have a donor that is an allele
match at HLA-A, -B and -C. However, acceptable donors may have up to two Class I
allele mismatches (A, B or C), or a single HLA-A, -B, or -C allele and/or antigen
mismatch, although in either situation the class II HLA-DR must be allele matched.
- Class II HLA Antigen (HLA-DR): The preferred donor will be a full HLA-DR allele
match. However, a single allele DR mismatch donor will be acceptable provided the
donor is a full allele match at HLA-A, -B, and -C. Class II antigen mismatched
donors are not acceptable.
- HLA A, B, DRB1 identical sibling donor is preferable to an unrelated donor
- Homozygous normal donor is preferable to heterozygote (carrier)
- ABO-compatible donor is preferable to ABO-incompatible donor
- Younger donor is preferable to older
- Cytomegalovirus seronegative donor is preferable to cytomegalovirus (CMV)
seropositive donor, if the patient is CMV negative
