Abstract

Bone marrow transplant (BMT) is a medical procedure performed to replace the soft, fatty bone marrow that has been damaged or destroyed by disease, infection, or chemotherapy. Most bone marrow transplants are usually performed on patients with certain blood cancers (leukemias) and other blood disorders. Cases of fully matched offspring(s) with parents are very rare and would occur when both parents share at least one haplotype which is commonly seen in several generations of consanguineous marriages [1].
