title: [Bone marrow transplantation in the therapy of genetic diseases].
abstract: The technique of bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is now well established. Of now over 90 inborn errors of metabolism at least 45 have been treated by BMT. Among these some 35 have been proven to be curable by this procedure. The present paper reviews the respective literature and considers in particular the pertinent experiences of the Westminster Bone Marrow Transplantation Team.
