[PMID: 37595686 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtct.2023.08.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Revised: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/13/2023] [Indexed: 08/20/2023]
Abstract
Increasing data on treosulfan-based conditioning regimens before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) demonstrate the consistent benefits of this approach, particularly regarding acute toxicity. This study aimed to describe the results of treosulfan-based conditioning regimens in children, focusing on toxicity and outcomes when used to treat both malignant and nonmalignant diseases. This retrospective observational study of pediatric patients treated in Spain with treosulfan-based conditioning regimens before HSCT was based on data collection from electronic clinical records. We studied a total of 160 treosulfan-based conditioning HSCTs to treat nonmalignant diseases (n = 117) or malignant diseases (n = 43) in 158 children and adolescents. The median patient age at HSCT was 5.1 years (interquartile range, 2 to 10 years). The most frequent diagnoses were primary immunodeficiency (n = 42; 36%) and sickle cell disease (n = 42; 36%) in the nonmalignant disease cohort and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (n = 15; 35%) in the malignant disease cohort. Engraftment occurred in 97% of the patients. The median times to neutrophil engraftment (17 days versus 14 days; P = .008) and platelet engraftment (20 days versus 15 days; P = .002) were linger in the nonmalignant cohort. The 1-year cumulative incidence of veno-occlusive disease was 7.98% (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.6% to 13.6%), with no significant differences between cohorts. The 1-year cumulative incidence of grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was higher in the malignant disease cohort (18% versus 3.2%; P = .011). Overall, the malignant cohort had both a higher total incidence (9% versus 3%; P < .001) and a higher 2-year cumulative incidence (16% versus 1.9%; P < .001) of total chronic GVHD. The 2-year cumulative transplantation-related mortality was 15%, with no difference between the 2 cohorts. The 5-year overall survival was 80% (95% CI, 72% to 86%) and was higher in the nonmalignant cohort (87% versus 61%; P = .01). The 2-year cumulative incidence of relapse was 25% in the malignant cohort. The 5-year cumulative GVHD-free, relapse-free survival rate was 60% (95% CI, 51% to 70%) and was higher in the nonmalignant cohort (72% versus 22%; P < .001). A treosulfan-based radiation-free conditioning regimen is feasible, achieving a high engraftment rate and 5-year overall survival, and is an emerging option for the first HSCT in nonmalignant diseases.

Abstract
Most patients with osteopetrosis (OPT) can be causally and curatively treated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) because osteoclasts are derived from the HSC. However, HSCT is contraindicated in some forms of OPT, namely OPT with neurodegeneration (in all patients with OSTM1 and about half of patients with CLCN7 mutations) and OPT caused by an osteoblast defect (patients with RANKL mutations). HSCT for OPT risks serious side effects, such as transplant failure, venous occlusive disease, pulmonary hypertension, and hypercalcemic crises. Nevertheless, the success rate of HSCT has improved significantly in recent decades. This applies, in particular, to HSCT from non-HLA compatible (haploidentical) donors. Therefore, nowadays an HSCT can be discussed for intermediate OPT forms. After a successful HSCT, most patients have very good quality of life, but about two-thirds are visually impaired, and in rarer cases show motor and neurological disabilities. Early diagnosis, further improvements in transplantation procedures, and advances to improve quality-of-life after transplantation are challenges for the future.

Abstract
The medical treatment of osteopetrosis is an ongoing clinical problem. There are no effective and safer therapeutic approaches for all its forms. However, recent discoveries concerning the etiology and the pathogenesis of osteopetrosis, the development of dedicated cellular and animal models, and the advent of new technologies are paving the way for the development of targeted and safer therapies for both lethal and milder osteopetrosis. This review summarizes the huge effort and successes made by researchers to identify and develop new experimental approaches with this objective, such as the use of non-genotoxic myeloablation, gene correction of inducible Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs), lentiviral-based gene therapy, protein replacement, prenatal treatment, osteoclast precursors transplantation and RNA Interference.

Bone marrow transplantation as a therapy for autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type 2 in mice. FASEB J 2022; 36:e22471.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II (ADO2) is a heritable bone disease of impaired osteoclastic bone resorption caused by missense mutations in the chloride channel 7 (CLCN7) gene. Clinical features of ADO2 include fractures, osteomyelitis of jaw, vision loss, and in severe cases, bone marrow failure. Currently, there is no effective therapy for ADO2, and patients usually receive symptomatic treatments. Theoretically, bone marrow transplantation (BMT), which is commonly used in recessive osteopetrosis, could be used to treat ADO2, although the frequency of complications related to BMT is quite high. We created an ADO2 knock-in (p.G213R mutation) mouse model on the 129 genetic background, and their phenotypes mimic the human disease of ADO2. To test whether BMT could restore osteoclast function and rescue the bone phenotypes in ADO2 mice, we transplanted bone marrow cells from 6-8 weeks old male WT donor mice into recipient female ADO2 mice. Also, to determine whether age at the time of transplant may play a role in transplant success, we performed BMT in young (12-week-old) and old (9-month-old) ADO2 mice. Our data indicate that ADO2 mice transplanted with WT marrow achieved more than 90% engraftment up to 6 months post-transplantation at both young and old ages. The in-vivo DXA data revealed that young ADO2 mice transplanted with WT marrow had significantly lower whole body and spine areal bone mineral density (aBMD) at month 6 post-transplantation compared to the ADO2 control mice. The old ADO2 mice also displayed significantly lower whole body, femur, and spine aBMD at months 4 and 5 post-transplantation compared to the age-matched control mice. The in-vivo micro-CT data showed that ADO2 experimental mice transplanted with WT marrow had significantly lower BV/TV at months 2 and 4 post-transplantation compared to the ADO2 control mice at a young age. In contrast, ADO2 control and experimental mice displayed similar BV/TV values for all post-transplantation time points at old age. In addition, serum CTX was significantly higher at month 2 post-transplantation in both young and old ADO2 experimental mice compared to the ADO2 control mice. Serum P1NP levels in young ADO2 experimental mice were significantly higher at baseline and month 2 post-transplantation compared to the ADO2 control mice. These data suggest that BMT may provide, at least, some beneficial effect at both young and adult ages.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the outcomes of treosulfan-based vs. busulfan-based conditioning regimens in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in pediatric patients. METHODS Retrospective study of all consecutive patients (2012-2019) treated with allogenic HSCT and treosulfan- or busulfan-based conditioning regimens at a single center. RESULTS A total of 101 HSCT were included: 66 HSCT with busulfan and 35 with treosulfan. In malignant diseases (n=62), busulfan-based conditioning was more commonly employed than treosulfan: 82.3% vs. 17.7%. However, the use of treosulfan for malignant diseases increased over time: 6.5% of HSCT in 2012-2015 vs. 29% of HSCT in 2015-2019 (P=0.02). The cohort of treosulfan had more children under 1-year of age than the busulfan cohort (31 vs. 13%; P=0.033). The percentage of patients who received serotherapy was 73 and 89% in the non-malignant and malignant groups respectively. The engraftment, time to neutrophil, and platelet engraftment were not significantly different between the busulfan and the treosulfan cohorts. Rate of grade II-IV acute GvHD was significantly higher in the busulfan cohort than the treosulfan cohort (39% vs. 15%; P=0.016). No differences were observed in endothelial damage complications, chronic GvHD, relapse, overall survival, and transplant-related mortality. CONCLUSIONS Busulfan-based conditioning regimens are used more frequently for children undergoing allogenic HSCT, but treosulfan-based conditioning is gaining acceptance. Treosulfan-based conditioning is associated with lower rates of acute GvHD, and no significant differences on overall survival were observed compared with busulfan.

Abstract
Malignant infantile osteopetrosis (MIOP) is the autosomal recessive, severe form of osteopetrosis. This rare genetic syndrome usually presents soon after birth and is often fatal if left untreated. Early diagnosis is key for proper management but clinical presentation is diverse, and oftentimes diagnosis may be challenging. In this study, we retrospectively collected data of genetic mutations and phenotypic characteristics at the initial presentation of 81 MIOP patients and analyzed genotype-phenotype correlations. The most common genetic mutation was in the TCIRG1 gene (n = 46, 56.8%), followed by SNX10 (n = 20, 25%). Other genetic mutations included RANK (n = 7, 8.7%), CLCN7 (n = 5, 6.2%) and CA2 (n = 3, 3.7%). More than half of the patients presented with growth retardation (n = 46, 56.8%). Twenty-one of the patients were blind (26%) and thirty-seven patients had other neurological deficits (45.7%) at the time of initial presentation. Most patients presented with hematological signs of bone marrow failure including anemia (n = 69, 85.2%) and thrombocytopenia (n = 33, 40.7%). Thrombocytopenia at initial presentation was significantly more prevalent in patients with mutations in the TCIRG1 gene (p = 0.036). Other phenotypic presenting features were not found to be significantly correlated to specific gene mutations. In conclusion, the initial presentation of MIOP is variable, but some features are common such as growth retardation, visual impairment, and cytopenias. High awareness of MIOP presenting signs is essential for prompt diagnosis of this challenging disease.

Abstract
Autophagy is a ubiquitous cellular process, allowing the removal and recycling of damaged proteins and organelles. At the basal level, this process plays a role in quality control, thus participating in cellular homeostasis. Autophagy can also be induced by various stresses, such as nutrient deprivation or hypoxia, to allow the cell to survive until conditions improve. In recent years, the role of this process has been widely studied in many pathologies such as neurodegenerative diseases or cancers. In bone tissue, various studies have shown that autophagy is involved in the survival, differentiation and activity of osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteoclasts. The evolution of this knowledge has led to the identification of new molecular pathophysiological mechanisms in bone pathologies. This review reports the current state of knowledge on the role of autophagy in 4 bone diseases: osteoporosis, which seems to be associated with a decrease in autophagy, osteopetrosis and Paget's disease where the course of the autophagic process is disturbed, and finally osteosarcoma where autophagy seems to play a protumoral role. A better understanding of the involvement of autophagy in these pathologies should eventually lead to the identification of new potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical efficacy of haploidentical haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) for the treatment of malignant infantile osteopetrosis (MIOP) and intermediate osteopetrosis. METHODS Children with MIOP and IOP who underwent haplo-HSCT in Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University, from January 2010 to May 2018 were retrospectively analysed. Data relating to the clinical manifestations, engraftment, and prognosis of the children were extracted from medical records. RESULTS Twenty-seven patients, including 18 males and 9 females, with an onset age of 12 (0.04-72) months were enrolled in this study. The median time from diagnosis to transplantation was 4 (1-23) months. All patients received haplo-HSCT with a myeloablative conditioning regimen (including fludarabine, busulfan, and cyclophosphamide). Graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis was based on anti-human T lymphocyte porcine immunoglobulin/anti-human thymus globulin, methotrexate, and mycophenolate mofetil. The median observation time was 55.2 (0.3-126.2) months. By the end of follow-up, twenty patients survived and seven patients died. The 5 year overall survival rate was 73.9%. Stage I-II acute GVHD was observed in 20 patients, stage III GVHD in 1 patient and no patients had stage IV disease. Chronic GVHD was observed in 11 patients (40.7%) and was controlled by anti-GVHD therapy. CONCLUSIONS Haplo-HSCT was an effective treatment for MIOP and IOP, with a high survival rate and significantly improved clinical symptoms. For patients with a vision impairment before HSCT, the improvement was slow after transplantation. The incidence of GVHD was high but mild and was effectively controlled by appropriate treatment. These data indicated that haplo-HSCT was a feasible treatment for MIOP and IOP.

Abstract
Autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (ARO) is a severe inherited bone disease characterized by defective osteoclast resorption or differentiation. Clinical manifestations include dense and brittle bones, anemia and progressive nerve compression, which hamper the quality of patients' lives and cause death in the first 10 years of age. This Review describes the pathogenesis of ARO and highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the current standard of care, namely hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Despite an improvement in the overall survival and outcomes of HSCT, transplant-related morbidity and the pre-existence of neurological symptoms significantly limit the success of HSCT, while the availability of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched donors still remains an open issue. Novel therapeutic approaches are needed for ARO patients, especially for those that cannot benefit from HSCT. Here, we review preclinical and proof-of-concept studies, such as gene therapy, systematic administration of deficient protein, in utero HSCT and gene editing. Summary: Autosomal recessive osteopetrosis is a heterogeneous and rare bone disease for which effective treatments are still lacking for many patients. Here, we review the literature on clinical, preclinical and proof-of-concept studies.

Abstract
Malignant infantile osteopetrosis (MIOP) is a rare hereditary disorder characterized by excessive bone overgrowth due to a defect in bone marrow resorption by osteoclasts. In most cases, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) may correct bone metabolism but the rapidly progressing nature of this condition necessitates early diagnosis and prompt treatment to minimize irreversible cranial nerve damage. The management of patients with MIOP presents many unique challenges. In this review, the clinical management of patients with MIOP is discussed, including diagnosis, preparation for HSCT and special transplant considerations, management of unique HSCT complications, and long-term follow-up.

Abstract
Bone is a highly vascularized organ, providing structural support to the body, and its development, regeneration, and remodeling depend on the microvascular homeostasis. Loss or impairment of vascular function can develop diseases, such as large bone defects, avascular necrosis, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and osteopetrosis. In this review, we summarize how vasculature controls bone development and homeostasis in normal and disease cases. A better understanding of this process will facilitate the development of novel disease treatments that promote bone regeneration and remodeling. Specifically, approaches based on tissue engineering components, such as stem cells and growth factors, have demonstrated the capacity to induce bone microvasculature regeneration and mineralization. This knowledge will have relevant clinical implications for the treatment of bone disorders by developing novel pharmaceutical approaches and bone grafts. Finally, the tissue engineering approaches incorporating vascular components may widely be applied to treat other organ diseases by enhancing their regeneration capacity. Impact statement Bone vasculature is imperative in the process of bone development, regeneration, and remodeling. Alterations or disruption of the bone vasculature leads to loss of bone homeostasis and the development of bone diseases. In this study, we review the role of vasculature on bone diseases and how vascular tissue engineering strategies, with a detailed emphasis on the role of stem cells and growth factors, will contribute to bone therapeutics.

Abstract
Osteopetrosis is a rare skeletal dysplasia resulting from an osteoclast defect leading to increased bone mass and density. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can rescue the disease phenotype and prevent complications. However, little is known about the skeletal changes hematopoietic stem cell transplantation induces in patients with this disease. The purpose of this study was to describe the skeletal changes after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in a retrospective cohort of patients diagnosed with osteopetrosis in one medical center over 13 years. For this purpose, all available epidemiological, hematological, biochemical, and radiographic data were collected and quantitatively analyzed. We found a significant early change in bone metabolism markers coinciding with hematopoietic recovery after stem cell transplantation. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation induced a later significant improvement in both skeletal mineral distribution and morphology but did not lead to complete radiological normalization. Presumably, changes in bone metabolism, skeletal mineral distribution, and morphology were the result of renewed osteoclast function enabling bone remodeling. We propose that biochemical bone metabolism markers and radiological indices be routinely used to evaluate response to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with osteopetrosis. © 2020 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is curative for a variety of nonmalignant disorders including osteopetrosis, bone marrow failures, and immune deficiencies. Haploidentical HSCT is a readily available option in the absence of a matched donor, but engraftment failure and other post-transplant complications are a concern. Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) regimens are gaining popularity and recent reports show promising results. We report our experience with nine pediatric patients with nonmalignant diseases who were transplanted from a haploidentical donor with PT-Cy. From 2015 to 2019, nine children with nonmalignant diseases underwent haploidentical HSCT with PT-Cy, two as a second transplant and seven as primary grafts after upfront serotherapy and busulfan-based myeloablative conditioning. Patient’s diseases included osteopetrosis (n = 5), congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (n = 2), hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (n = 1), and Wiskott Aldrich syndrome (n = 1). Two patients failed to engraft following upfront PT-Cy transplants, one was salvaged with a second PT-Cy transplant, and the other with a CD34+ selected graft. None of the patients suffered from graft-versus-host disease. Three patients died from early posttransplant infectious complications and six patients are alive and well. In conclusion, haploidentical HSCT with PT-Cy is a feasible option for pediatric patients with nonmalignant diseases lacking a matched donor.

Abstract
The maintenance of bone mass is a dynamic process that requires a strict balance between bone formation and resorption. Bone formation is controlled by osteoblasts, while osteoclasts are responsible for resorption of the bone matrix. The opposite functions of these cell types have to be tightly regulated not only during normal bone development, but also during adult life, to maintain serum calcium homeostasis and sustain bone integrity to prevent bone fractures. Disruption of the control of bone synthesis or resorption can lead to an over accumulation of bone tissue in osteopetrosis or conversely to a net depletion of the bone mass in osteoporosis. Moreover, high levels of bone resorption with focal bone formation can cause Paget’s disease. Here, we summarize the steps toward isolation and characterization of the osteopetrosis associated trans-membrane protein 1 (Ostm1) gene and protein, essential for proper osteoclast maturation, and responsible when mutated for the most severe form of osteopetrosis in mice and humans.

Abstract
Background Infantile malignant osteopetrosis (IMO) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by non-functional osteoclasts and a fatal outcome early in childhood. About 50% of patients have mutations in the TCIRG1 gene. Methods IMO iPSCs were generated from a patient carrying a homozygous c.11279G>A (IVS18+1) mutation in TCIRG1 and transduced with a lentiviral vector expressing human TCIRG1. Embryoid bodies were generated and differentiated into monocytes. Non-adherent cells were harvested and further differentiated into osteoclasts on bovine bone slices. Results Release of the bone resorption biomarker CTX-I into the media of gene-corrected osteoclasts was 5-fold higher than that of the uncorrected osteoclasts and 35% of that of control osteoclasts. Bone resorption potential was confirmed by the presence of pits on the bones cultured with gene-corrected osteoclasts, absent in the uncorrected IMO osteoclasts. Conclusions The disease phenotype was partially corrected in vitro, providing a valuable resource for therapy development for this form of severe osteopetrosis.

Abstract
Osteopetrosis is a rare congenital bone disorder, characterized by systemic osteosclerosis due to a deficiency of or functional defect in osteoclasts. Autosomal dominant osteopetrosis (ADOP) is the most common form with a late onset, a stable condition, relatively few symptoms and a good prognosis. Few studies to date have reported successful total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with ADOP and its operative difficulties. We herein describe a case of left hip osteoarthritis in a patient with OP via THA in order to share our experience during the treatment process. The patient was a 52-years-old female with osteopetrosis who was referred to our department due to a history of left hip pain with activity limitation for 20 years. The patient reported no history of fracture or family history. The patient underwent THA in the left hip. At the 6-month, 1- and 2-year follow-up, the components were in a good position and the patient remained asymptomatic and pain-free. Therefore, THA may be a feasible treatment option when patients with ADOP suffer from painful hip osteoarthritis.

Abstract
TBC regimens are considered as "reduced toxicity" and are increasingly employed in pediatric HSCT. In our center, we commonly use the combination of treosulfan-thiotepa-fludarabine and ATG for pediatric non-malignant diseases. As we often observe acute skin toxicities following this conditioning regimen, we conducted a prospective observational study to describe and characterize these toxicities. Fifteen pediatric patients undergoing HSCT for non-malignant diseases who were treated at Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center during 2015 were enrolled. A thorough dermatological assessment was done on days 0, 1, 7, and 14 from treatment initiation and included description of cutaneous reactions, measurement of BSA of affected skin, and response to local treatment. All the fifteen enrolled patients developed some degree of acute skin reaction. Cutaneous manifestations were variable and included erythematous patches in inguinal area and genitalia (80%), in neck and axillae (40%), diffuse hyperpigmentation (73%), erosions in inguinal area and buttock (47%), and xerosis and desquamation (40%). Average affected BSA reached 71.8%. Erosions were more prevalent in children younger than 2 years of age. The eruptions resolved without sequela in all patients and did not necessitate treatment other than topical agents. Observed extracutaneous toxicities included oral mucositis (40%), diarrhea (47%), and elevated liver enzymes (47%). TBC combined with thiotepa is highly toxic to the skin with various cutaneous manifestations. The toxicity resolves with no long-term sequela.

Abstract
Background Autosomal recessive osteopetrosis is a rare skeletal disorder with increased bone density due to a failure in osteoclast bone resorption. In most cases, the defect is cell-autonomous, and >50% of patients bear mutations in the TCIRG1 gene, encoding for a subunit of the vacuolar proton pump essential for osteoclast resorptive activity. The only cure is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, which corrects the bone pathology by allowing the formation of donor-derived functional osteoclasts. Therapeutic approaches using patient-derived cells corrected ex vivo through viral transduction or gene editing can be considered, but to date functional rescue cannot be demonstrated in vivo because a relevant animal model for xenotransplant is missing. Methods We generated a new mouse model, which we named NSG oc/oc, presenting severe autosomal recessive osteopetrosis owing to the Tcirg1oc mutation, and profound immunodeficiency caused by the NSG background. We performed neonatal murine bone marrow transplantation and xenotransplantation with human CD34+ cells. Results We demonstrated that neonatal murine bone marrow transplantation rescued NSG oc/oc mice, in line with previous findings in the oc/oc parental strain and with evidence from clinical practice in humans. Importantly, we also demonstrated human cell chimerism in the bone marrow of NSG oc/oc mice transplanted with human CD34+ cells. The severity and rapid progression of the disease in the mouse model prevented amelioration of the bone pathology; nevertheless, we cannot completely exclude that minor early modifications of the bone tissue might have occurred. Conclusion Our work paves the way to generating an improved xenograft model for in vivo evaluation of functional rescue of patient-derived corrected cells. Further refinement of the newly generated mouse model will allow capitalizing on it for an optimized exploitation in the path to novel cell therapies. Ex vivo corrected autologous HSCs might cure Autosomal Recessive Osteopetrosis (ARO). There is no animal model to prove in vivo functional rescue of corrected human cells. NSG oc/oc mice display osteoclast-rich cell-autonomous ARO and immunodeficiency. Human CD34+ cell-transplanted NSG oc/oc mice show human cell chimerism in the BM. Further improvements will allow in vivo evaluating corrected patient-derived cells.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is indicated in various nonmalignant disorders that arise from genetic, hematopoietic, and immune system defects. Many of the disorders described here have life-threatening consequences in the absence of HSCT, a curative intervention. However, timing and approach to HSCT vary by disorder and optimum results are achieved by performing transplantation before irreversible disease-related morbidity or infectious complications. This article details the principles of HSCT in the very young, lists indications, and explores the factors that contribute to successful outcomes based on transplantation and disease-related nuances. It provides an overview into the HSCT realm from a neonatologist's perspective, describes the current status of transplantation for relevant disorders of infancy, and provides a glimpse into future efforts at improving on current success.

Abstract
Osteopetrosis is a condition characterized by increased bone mass due to defects in osteoclast function or formation. In the last decades, the molecular dissection of osteopetrosis has unveiled a plethora of molecular players responsible for different forms of the disease, some of which present also primary neurodegeneration that severely limits the therapy. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can cure the majority of them when performed in the first months of life, highlighting the relevance of an early molecular diagnosis. However, clinical management of these patients is constrained by the severity of the disease and lack of a bone marrow niche that may delay immune reconstitution. Based on osteopetrosis genetic heterogeneity and disease severity, personalized therapies are required for patients that are not candidate to bone marrow transplantation. This review briefly describes the genetics of osteopetrosis, its clinical heterogeneity, current therapy and innovative approaches undergoing preclinical evaluation.
