    Author: Pridjian G, Humbert J, Willis J, Shapira E.
    Journal: J Pediatr; 1994 Nov; 125(5 Pt 1):755-8. PubMed ID: 7965430.
    Abstract:
    At 8 months of age, before clinical neurologic deterioration, the younger of two sisters with metachromatic leukodystrophy received a transplant of bone marrow from her haploidentical, heterozygote mother. Compared with the course in the older, affected, untreated sibling, the onset of neurologic regression was delayed 1 year and progressed at a slower rate.
