Marrow transplantation for thrombocytopenia-absent radii syndrome.
A two-year-old girl with thrombocytopenia-absent radii syndrome underwent transplantation of allogeneic bone marrow from her histocompatible sibling to correct her persistently low platelet count. Six years after transplantation, she has durable engraftment of allogeneic marrow and a normal platelet count that will allow her to undergo necessary corrective orthopedic procedures.
