Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a paediatric emergency and early haematopoeitic cell transplantation is the only curative therapy
We studyed transplant outcomes in 35 infants with SCID who were transplanted at Great North Children’s Hospital from 2013 to 2018.
Stem cell sources were: Haploidentical donor (HID) (TCR ab/CD19, 9), matched family donor (MFD) (marrow, 7; PBSC 4), matched unrelated donor (MUD) (marrow, 3; cord, 8; PBSC, 4). Fludarabine and Treosulfan were used for patients who received conditioni ng. 2-year OS was 100% for HID, 79% for MSD and 84% for MUD. CD4 recovery at 6 months post-HCT was comparable between stem cell sources.

HID is a safe alternative donor source for infants with SCID
