Successful outcome of allogeneic stem cell transplantation in Seckel syndrome

Luiz Guilherme Darrigo Jr et al. Pediatr Transplant. 2014 May.

Abstract

Seckel syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disease, genetically heterogeneous, characterized by short stature, prenatal microcephaly, intellectual disability, dysmorphic features, chromosomal instability, and hematological disorders. We report the case of a six-yr-old boy with Seckel syndrome and aplastic anemia who underwent successful allogeneic bone marrow transplantation from ten of ten HLA matched unrelated donor. Currently the patient is on D+771, in good health conditions and with no further complications. In conclusion, this case indicates that bone marrow transplantation is an acceptable therapeutic option for Seckel syndrome complicated by hematological alterations.

Keywords: allogeneic stem cell transplantation; bone marrow transplantation; children; pediatrics.
