Patient with rare HLH receives bone marrow transplant from donor found via TÜRKÖK
Based on a single news source or an institutional announcement. The level of scientific evidence is low; check the details with a doctor.
In Istanbul, a 28-year-old patient received a stem cell transplant and recovered. The patient had been diagnosed with HLH and myelodysplastic syndrome caused by a GATA2 mutation. The patient's siblings were not a match. So the donor was found through the Turkish Stem Cell Coordination Center (TÜRKÖK). The transplant was performed at Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital.
What does it mean for patients and families?
Some patients cannot find a suitable donor among their siblings. For these patients, the national stem cell donor registry offers an important option.
