Bone Marrow Transplant

Bone Marrow Transplant

A CGD patient’s blood stem cells are collected and a correct version of the gp91-phox gene is inserted into the stem cells. The CGD patient undergoes chemotherapy before the cells are intravenously infused into the patient. After the transplant, the stem cells are able to produce new white blood cells that can fight off infection. Learn more.
