Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for DOCK8 Deficiency: Durable Immune Reconstitution and Long-Term Survival in 47 Patients

A single-center retrospective study reports durable immune recovery and high long-term survival after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for a genetic combined immunodeficiency.

Key Takeaways
  • Event-free survival were both 91.5% after a median seven years follow-up
  • Matched related donor transplants had 94.6% survival and matched unrelated donors had 100% survival
  • All survivors showed resolution of eczema and recurrent infections with robust immune reconstitution
