Hematopoietic cell transplantation for Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome: a PIDTC report
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT: Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS), an X-linked disorder characterized by immunodeficiency, thrombocytopenia, autoimmunity, and malignancy, can be effectively treated with allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Older age at HCT and mismatched donors are known to affect overall survival (OS). However, the influence of specific clinical manifestations or WAS variant class on OS and factors associated with event-free survival (EFS) remain incompletely defined. We analyzed outcomes of 308 patients with WAS who underwent HCT at 37 institutions of the Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium from 1990 to 2018. With a median follow-up of 5.3 years, the 5-year OS and EFS were 87.2% and 79.7%, respectively. Age ≥5 years, donor type, and a pre-HCT history of severe infection had a negative impact on OS and EFS, whereas pre-HCT autoimmunity had no impact. Reduced-intensity regimens were associated with lower T-cell and myeloid donor chimerism, particularly when non-busulfan-based regimens were used. Low myeloid donor chimerism was associated with lower platelet counts. Mixed chimerism was not consistently associated with post-HCT autoimmunity. Patients with class I (exon 1-2 missense and intron 5 hot spot variants) and class II variants (all others) had similar pre-HCT clinical symptom severity and no difference in OS, EFS, or platelet recovery post-HCT. In conclusion, our study showed excellent long-term OS and EFS after HCT for WAS, highlighting the importance of early HCT, before the development of severe infections. We confirmed that HCT using busulfan-based conditioning was associated with improved donor chimerism and platelet recovery. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT02064933.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
