    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myelodysplastic_syndrome

    The best prognosis is seen with RA and RARS, where some nontransplant patients live more than a decade (typical is on the order of three to five years, although long-term remission is possible if a bone-marrow transplant is successful). The worst outlook is with RAEB-T, where the mean life expectancy is less than one year.

    Overall, the five-year survival rate is higher than 75% among recipients of bone marrow transplantation. [39] Older people (who are generally too frail to undergo bone marrow transplants) and people who are unable to find a good bone marrow match have five-year survival rates of up to 35% when undergoing immune suppression. [40] Relapses are ...

    The incidence of bone marrow failure is triphasic: one peak at two to five years during childhood (due to inherited causes), and two peaks in adulthood, between 20 and 25 years old and after 60 years old (from acquired causes). [14] One in ten individuals with bone marrow failure have unsuspected Fanconi anemia (FA). [14]

    Less commonly, the disease comes to light only after the cancerous cells overwhelm the bone marrow, resulting in low red blood cells, neutrophils, or platelets. [9] Symptoms can be fever, night sweats, weight loss, and tiredness. [9] CLL can be grouped with small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) as one disease with two clinical presentations. [18]

  7. Osteopetrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteopetrosis

    The severe infantile forms of osteopetrosis are associated with shortened life expectancy, with most untreated children not surviving past their first decade. Bone marrow transplantation seems to have cured some infants with early-onset disease. However, the long-term prognosis after transplantation is unknown.

  8. Hurler syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurler_syndrome

    A British study from 2008 found a median estimated life expectancy of 8.7 years for patients with Hurler syndrome. In comparison, the median life expectancy for all forms of MPS type I was 11.6 years. Patients who received successful bone marrow transplants had a 2-year survival rate of 68% and a 10-year survival rate of 64%. Patients who did ...

  9. Leukodystrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leukodystrophy

    While the disease is fatal, the age of onset is a key factor, as infants have a typical life expectancy of 2–8 years, while adults typically live more than a decade after onset. Treatment options are limited, although hematopoietic stem cell transplantations using bone marrow or cord blood seem to help in certain leukodystrophy types, while ...
