 PCR amplified segments of microsatellite regions adjacent to genes allow distinction of donor and recipient DNA from marrow or peripheral blood cells. Here white blood cell and T-cell DNA have been analysed in a patient with Fanconi anaemia. After initial full donor engraftment, T-cells were mostly recipient in origin at 18 months post-graft—the probable cause of persistent lymphopenia in this patient.

 Femoral remodelling after successful SCT for malignant infantile osteopetrosis. At presentation the bone is chalky white, lacks cortico-medullary differentiation, and has frayed metaphyses (mimicking rickets). By two years after SCT, bone density is almost normal and remodelling has occurred.
