Maladie héréditaire du métabolisme et allogreffe de cellules souches hématopoïétiques : indication, modalité et suivi. Recommandations de la SFGM-TC

Inherited Metabolic Diseases (IMD) are rare genetic diseases, including both lysosomal and peroxisomal diseases. Lysosomal diseases are related to the deficiency of one or more lysosomal enzymes or transporter. Lysosomal diseases are progressive and involve several tissues with most often neurological damage. Among peroxisomal diseases, X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a neurodegenerative disease combining neurological and adrenal damage. For these diseases, enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) and gene therapy represent various possible treatment options, used alone or in combination. The purpose of this workshop is to describe the indications, modalities, and follow-up of allo-HCT as well as the use of ERT peri-transplant. All indications for transplant in these rare diseases are associated with comorbidities and are subject to criteria that must be discussed in a dedicated national multidisciplinary consultation meeting. There are some consensual indications in type I-H mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS-IH) and in the cerebral form of ALD. For other IMDs, no clear benefit from the transplant has been demonstrated. The ideal donor is a non-heterozygous HLA-identical sibling. The recommended conditioning is myeloablative combining fludarabine and busulfan. In MPS-IH, ERT has to be started at diagnosis and continued until complete chimerism and normal enzyme assay are achieved. The pre-transplant assessment and post-transplant follow-up are made according to the published recommendations (PNDS). Standard follow-up is carried out jointly by the transplant and referral teams.
