RESEARCH SUMMARY

Dr. Hickstein’s laboratory is working on the recently described bone failure syndrome GATA2 deficiency. In particular, the lab is investigating mutations outside of the GATA2 exons in patients with MonoMAC syndrome, mutations associated with myeloid transformation in patients with GATA2 deficiency who have evidence of myeloid progression, and developing new approaches to the treatment of GATA2 deficiency with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. These studies are carried out in animal models of disease and in human clinical trials.
