Glanzmann thrombasthenia is a rare platelet disorder characterized by an abnormal integrin receptor on the surface of platelets that results in the failure of platelets to aggregate. Currently, curative therapy is allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The authors report 2 patients with Glanzmann thrombasthenia who successfully underwent allogeneic HSCT from unrelated donors, including one using umbilical cord blood stem cells. Although both patients had evidence of engraftment, hematopoietic recovery, and normalization of platelet aggregation, they also experienced several post-transplant complications. Allogeneic HSCT carries a significant risk of morbidity and mortality that should be considered before proceeding with the transplant.
