Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is the only known curative therapy for a variety of non-malignant and malignant disorders1-4. Only about 25% of patients have an HLA-matched sibling and in about 16-75% (depending on ethnicity), a 10/10 HLA-matched unrelated donor can be identified. Engraftment failure is a dynamic complex process that may occur with this product due to unbalanced depletion of T-cells between recipient and donor, not only due to low number of CD34 cells. The use of mis-matched or haploidentical donors is associated with a higher risk of post-transplant mortality due to the development of severe graft versus host disease, graft failure and the development of infection due to the use of immunosuppression or T cell depletion. A total of 10 patients will be enrolled. The patients will be divided into 2 strata (haploidentical 7, unrelated donor 3).
