In peripheral blood HCT, 90 were 10/10, 09/10, 16 were 8/8, and 3 were 6/6. In cord blood HCT, 4 were 10/10, 4 were 9/10, 3 were 8/10, 21 were 6/6, 24 were 5/6, and 9 were 4/6. In bone marrow HCT, all were matched 10/10.

Minima exclude Fanconi anemia patients (n = 3): for these patients, indication-specific myeloablation was achieved with AUCt0 −∞ of 31, 31, and 25 mg*h/L.
