Abstract
We present a patient who was diagnosed as suffering from Fanconi anaem ia at the age of 36 years. At the time of diagnosis his bone marrow sh owed features of pre-leukaemic transformation. He received an allogene ic bone marrow transplant (BMT) from his HLA-identical sibling. The po st-transplant course was unremarkable with evidence of trilineage engr aftment at day +32 and no acute or chronic GVHD. He is well with susta ined engraftment and no haematological evidence of Fanconi anaemia 18 months post-transplant.
