Popis: Lawal et al report on a 45-fold increase in secondary hematologic malignancy in 120 patients following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for sickle cell disease (SCD), comparable to what has been reported following gene therapy. Notably, the cohort is enriched for older patients and for haploidentical transplant recipients with mixed chimerism following HSCT. These data further support the idea that pre-existing premalignant myeloid clones undergo clonal selection in the setting of nonmyeloablative HSCT and contribute to secondary malignancy.
