Abstract
Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) give rise to the blood system and maintain hematopoiesis throughout the human lifespan. Here, we report a transcriptional census of human bone-marrow-derived HSPCs from the neonate, infant, child, adult, and aging stages, showing two subpopulations of multipotent progenitors separated by CD52 expression. From birth to the adult stage, stem and multipotent progenitors shared similar transcriptional alterations, and erythroid potential was enhanced after the infant stage. By integrating transcriptome, chromatin accessibility, and functional data, we further showed that aging hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) exhibited a bias toward megakaryocytic differentiation. Finally, in comparison with the HSCs from the cord blood, neonate bone-marrow-derived HSCs were more quiescent and had higher long-term regeneration capability and durable self-renewal. Taken together, this work provides an integral transcriptome landscape of HSPCs and identifies their dynamics in post-natal steady-state hemopoiesis, thereby helping explore hematopoiesis in development and diseases.

Abstract
Beta-thalassemia major is characterized by a genetic deficiency in synthesis of beta-globin chains, resulting in reduced levels of functional hemoglobin. It is characterized by anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, and iron overload due to repeated blood transfusion. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is currently the only known curative treatment. We present a case of a 10-year-old girl with beta-thalassemia major who was successfully cured with allogeneic booster umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplantation with outcome data after 3 years of transplantation, in India. Postdiagnosis, she was on regular once-a-month blood transfusion until the age of 10 years, with no improvement. No serious adverse events occurred in the patient post-UCB transplantation. Chronic graft versus host disease was limited and was managed by medicines. Signs of primary graft rejection were also not seen.

Abstract
Excellent outcomes in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) from HLA-identical siblings, improvements in conditioning regimens, novel graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis, and the availability of alternative donors have all contributed to the increased applicability and acceptability of HCT for sickle cell disease (SCD). In young children with symptomatic SCD with an available HLA-identical related donor, HCT should be carefully considered. HCT from alternative donors is typically undertaken only in patients with severe symptoms, causing or likely to cause organ damage, and in the context of clinical trials. Patients undergoing HCT for SCD require careful counseling and preparation. They require careful monitoring of unique organ toxicities and complications during HCT. Patients must be prospectively followed for a prolonged time to determine the long-term outcomes and late effects of HCT for SCD. Thus, there is a need for a universal, longitudinal clinical registry to follow patients after HCT for SCD in conjunction with individuals who do not receive HCT to compare outcomes. Antibody-based conditioning and ex-vivo umbilical cord blood expansion are likely to improve the availability and acceptability of HCT. In addition, new disease-modifying drugs and the emerging option of the autologous transplantation of gene-modified hematopoietic progenitor cells are likely to expand the available therapeutic options and make decision-making by patients, physicians, and caregivers even more complicated. Future efforts must also focus on determining the impact of socioeconomic status on access to and outcomes of HCT and the long-term impact of HCT on patients, families, and society.

Abstract
In the United States, one out of every 500 African American children have sickle cell disease (SCD), and SCD affects approximately 100,000 Americans. Significant advances in the treatment of this monogenetic disorder have failed to substantially extend the life expectancy of adults with SCD over the past two decades. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remains the only curative option for patients with SCD. While human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched sibling HSCT has been successful, its availability is extremely limited. This review summarizes various conditioning regimens that are currently available. We explore recent efforts to expand the availability of allogeneic HSCT, including matched unrelated, umbilical cord blood, and haploidentical stem cell sources. We consider the use of nonmyeloablative conditioning and haploidentical donor sources as emerging strategies to expand transplant availability, particularly for SCD patients with complications and comorbidities who can undergo neither matched related transplant nor myeloablative conditioning. Finally, we show that improved conditioning agents have improved success rates not only in the HLA-matched sibling setting but also alternative donor settings.

Abstract
Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited hemoglobinopathy associated with severe morbidity, impaired quality of life, and premature mortality. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only curative treatment available for patients with SCD and has a >90% event-free survival when a matched related donor is used. However, availability of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical sibling donors for the SCD population is limited. The use of HLA-matched unrelated donors or related haploidentical donors has the potential to expand the donor pool. Methods: We reviewed the current literature on the indications for SCD transplantation, donor options, and the emerging use of gene therapy as a treatment option. Google Scholar and PubMed were searched using the terms SCD, bone marrow transplantation, donor sources, gene therapy, HSCT, and HLA matching. Additional articles were identified from the bibliographies of retrieved articles. All articles were reviewed for pertinent information related to SCD and transplantation. Results: HSCT has the potential to establish donor-derived normal erythropoiesis with stable long-term engraftment, amelioration of symptoms, and stabilization of organ damage. The majority of HSCT has been performed in children from HLA-identical sibling donors and has resulted in excellent rates of survival. The use of alternate donors such as HLA-matched unrelated donors and haploidentical donors has the potential to expand the applicability of HSCT for SCD. Early results in gene therapy for SCD are encouraging. Conclusion: Evaluation of the long-term benefits of curative therapies for SCD requires comparative clinical trials and studies of late effects.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can cure transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT). In a multicenter trial we investigated the efficacy of reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) before unrelated donor (URD) HSCT in children with TDT. Thirty-three children, ages 1 to 17 years, received bone marrow (BM) or umbilical cord blood (UCB) allografts. Median time to neutrophil engraftment was 13 days (range, 10 to 25) and 24 days (range, 18 to 49) and platelet engraftment 23 days (range, 12 to 46) and 50 days (range, 31 to 234) after BM and UCB allografts, respectively. With a median follow-up of 58 months (range, 7 to 79), overall and thalassemia-free survival was 82% (95% CI, .64% to .92%) and 79% (95% CI, .6% to .9%), respectively. The cumulative incidence of grades II to IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after BM and UCB allografts was 24% and 44%; the 2-year cumulative incidence of chronic extensive GVHD was 29% and 21%, respectively; 71% of BM and 91% of UCB recipients discontinued systemic immunosuppression by 2 years. Six patients who had Pesaro risk class 2 (n = 5) and class 3 (n = 1) died of GVHD (n = 3), viral pneumonitis (n = 2) and pulmonary hemorrhage (n = 1). Outcomes after this RIC compared favorably with URD HSCT outcomes for TDT and supported engraftment in 32 of 33 patients. Efforts to reduce GVHD and infectious complications are being pursued further.

Abstract
Sickle cell disease (SCD) chronically damages multiple organs over the lifetime of affected individuals. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is the most studied curative intervention. Fully matched related marrow, peripheral blood derived, or cord blood HCT have the best transplant outcome for symptomatic patients with SCD. For patients with asymptomatic or milder disease who have this donor option available, risks and benefits of HCT should be discussed among the patient, family, treating hematologist, and transplant physician, and decision to proceed to HCT should be individualized. Myeloablative conditioning with busulfan, cyclophosphamide, and ATG has been a commonly employed regimen for children and young adults. Recently, low intensity conditioning with low dose total body irradiation and alemtuzumab is emerging as an efficacious and safe regimen for adults, young adults, and possibly children. Mixed donor chimerism (minimum ≥20% myeloid cells), from myeloablative or nonmyeloablative conditioning regimen, produces robust normal donor erythropoiesis and is sufficient to provide a clinical cure. The proportion of patients remaining on immunosuppression beyond 2 years post-HCT is likely <10% with either myeloablative or low intensity regimens. Late effects from myeloablative or reduced intensity conditioning, or from several more months of immunosuppression in low intensity conditioning may be less common than those observed in HCT for malignant indications. Nonmyeloablative approaches with low toxicities should be the focus of future research efforts. Prevention of GVHD is a shared goal in all approaches of allo-HCT in SCD.

Abstract
This study's purposes were to diagnose intractable hemolytic anemia and to provide guiding treatment for the affected family members. We performed NGS in a panel of 600 genes for blood diseases on a patient with obscure hemolytic anemia and her parents. We confirmed the diagnosis of pyruvate kinase deficiency, identified a novel homozygous mutation of the PKLR gene (NM_000298: exon 6: c.T941C: p.I314T), and ruled out other blood diseases in the Chinese family. Furthermore, amniotic fluid was taken from the mother during the second trimester, and DNA was extracted to analyze the type of PKLR gene mutation. The proband received cord blood and bone marrow from the second child of the mother for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and achieved normal hematopoiesis. The genetic characterization analysis and genotype-phenotype correlation study of PKLR gene suggested that NGS was an effective method to confirm the molecular diagnosis of intractable hemolytic anemia. The identification of the mutation aided in prenatal diagnosis in the second pregnancy and the effective clinical management of the affected family.

Abstract
PGD for HLA typing is a procedure that can be performed when an affected child
requires a transplant to treat a non-hereditary disorder related to the
hematopoietic and/or immune system. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from
an HLA-identical donor provides the best treatment option. Three conventional
ovarian stimulation procedures for IVF were performed in a couple with a
10-year-old child diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia of high
risk. Trophectoderm biopsy and aCGH examination were performed on 15
blastocysts, three on the first IVF procedure, four on the second cycle, and
eight on the third. Three euploid blastocysts HLA-compatible with the genome of
the affected child were identified. One euploid blastocyst HLA-compatible with
the affected child was warmed and transferred, resulting in an HLA-matched live
birth. In conclusion, combined aCGH for aneuploidy screening and Karyomapping
may be performed in a single biopsy procedure.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a curative therapy for sickle cell disease (SCD) that is utilized very rarely because of limited allogeneic donor availability, limited healthcare resources needed to expand the treatment to regions in the world where most affected individuals reside, and by a view among SCD experts that HCT lacks the evidential rigor with short and long-term toxicity profiles that together might support its broader application. RECENT FINDINGS In this update, recent advances focused on donor selection, reduced toxicity preparation for HCT, and treatment of young adults will be presented. The current status of conventional bone marrow transplantation with a human leukocyte antigen-identical sibling donor is summarized. SUMMARY HCT for SCD is curative in almost all children who have a human leukocyte antigen-matched sibling donor. The future of this therapy will hinge on expanding the number of individuals who might be treated.

Abstract
Neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) is a rare autoimmune disorder associated with transplacental migration of maternal autoantibodies against SS-A (Ro) or SS-B (La) antigens that results in cardiac, hepatic, cutaneous, and hematologic manifestations. Although NLE-associated neutropenia is considered transient and benign, neutropenia caused by severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is life-threatening. Diagnosing a complicated picture of neonatal neutropenia can be challenging because there are many overlapping features between the acquired and inherited etiologies. This article highlights this diagnostic challenge with a case of delayed diagnosis of SCN due to an initial diagnosis of concurrent NLE. Secondary to SCN refractory to granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, our patient underwent a matched sibling cord blood transplant. Posttransplant, the patient developed recurrence of NLE symptoms, representing the first case of maternally transferred autoantibodies causing symptoms in a cord blood recipient. This novel finding prompted a review of the standards for collecting, processing, and storing of cord blood donations. This article also discusses the importance of physician familiarity with the differences and similarities between publicly and privately banked cord blood donations to adequately counsel expectant parents.

Abstract
Research has solidified matched sibling marrow, cord blood, or mobilized peripheral blood as the best source for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for patients with sickle cell disease, with low graft rejection and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and high disease-free survival rates. Fully allelic matched unrelated donor is an option for transplant-eligible patients without HLA-matched sibling donors. Unrelated cord transplant studies reported high GVHD and low engraftment rates. Haploidentical transplants have less GVHD, but improvements are needed to increase the low engraftment rate. The decision to use unrelated cord blood units or haploidentical donors depends on institutional expertise.
