Preclinical models have shown that transplantation of marrow
mesenchymal cells has the potential to correct inherited disorders of
bone, cartilage, and muscle. The report describes clinical responses of the first children to undergo allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) for severe osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a
genetic disorder characterized by defective type I collagen, osteopenia, bone fragility, severe bony deformities, and growth retardation. Five children with severe OI were enrolled in a study of
BMT from human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-compatible sibling donors. Linear growth, bone mineralization, and fracture rate were taken as
measures of treatment response. The 3 children with documented donor
osteoblast engraftment had a median 7.5-cm increase in body length
(range, 6.5-8.0 cm) 6 months after transplantation compared with 1.25 cm (range, 1.0-1.5 cm) for age-matched control patients. These patients
gained 21.0 to 65.3 g total body bone mineral content by 3 months
after treatment or 45% to 77% of their baseline values. With extended
follow-up, the patients' growth rates either slowed or reached a
plateau phase. Bone mineral content continued to increase at a rate
similar to that for weight-matched healthy children, even as growth
rates declined. These results suggest that BMT from HLA-compatible
donors may benefit children with severe OI. Further studies are needed
to determine the full potential of this strategy.
