Table 3.

Association between donor chimerism and leukocyte enzymes levels and cell source (at latest follow-up) in patients who are “alive and engrafted”

MSD (%) MUD (%) TCD-MUD (%) UCB (%) P value
Chimerism n = 30 n = 35 n = 19 n = 79
 Full (>95%) 21 (70) 26 (74) 9 (50) 69 (93) .039
 Mixed (50-95%) 6 6 4 5
 Mixed (10-50%) 3 3 5 0
 Missing 0 0 1 5
Enzyme level*
 Normal 16 (54) 23 (66) 5 (53) 64 (98) .007
 Low 10 12 4 1
 Missing 2 0 9 14

Within the MSD group, part of the donors will be carriers, which is biologically associated with lower enzymes.
