In 1978, Parkman et al.[1] were the first to successfully treat 2 children with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) by transplanting HLA-matched bone marrow grafts after myeloablative conditioning with total body irradiation, procarbazine, and antithymocyte globulin. They hypothesized that “immunosuppression and an adequate reduction in recipient hematopoietic stem cells” were required to provide “space” for donor stem cell engraftment. Forty years later, Balashov et al.[2], in this issue of the Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation, continue to expand on the concept of opening marrow niches or “making space.” They demonstrated enhanced allogeneic donor stem cell engraftment in WAS patients when a reduced toxicity myeloablative conditioning regimen was supplemented with 2 agents commonly used to mobilize hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs): granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and the CXCR4 antagonist plerixafor [2].WAS is a rare inherited X-linked primary immunodeficiency disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in the WAS gene [3]. The WAS protein is a key regulator of the actin cytoskeleton in all hematopoietic lineages and its deficiency causes characteristic microthrombocytopenia and lymphoid and myeloid cell dysfunction [4]. A clinical scoring system is used to stratify disease severity. Patients with a score from 3 to 5 display a WAS phenotype characterized by a tendency to bleed, persistent eczema, susceptibility to severe opportunistic bacterial and viral infections, autoimmune and inflammatory complications, and an elevated risk of lymphoid malignancies [5]. In the absence of definitive treatment, WAS patients do not survive beyond their second or third decade of life.
