RESEARCH SUMMARY

Dr. Hickstein’s laboratory worked on the bone failure syndrome GATA2 deficiency. In particular, the lab investigated 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 were carried out in animal models of disease and in human clinical trials.
