  • Acute myelogenous leukemia
  • Acute lymphoblastic leukemia
  • Chronic myelogenous leukemia
  • Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
  • Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia
  • Hodgkin’s lymphoma
  • Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
  • Multiple myeloma and other plasma cell disorders

Severe aplastic anemia and other marrow failure states

  • Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH)
  • Pure red cell aplasia
  • Amegakaryocytosis / congenital thrombocytopenia

  • Beta thalassemia major
  • Sickle cell disease

Hurler’s syndrome and other inherited metabolic disorders:

  • Hurler’s syndrome (MPS-IH)

  • Metachromatic leukodystrophy

Myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative disorders:

  • Refractory anemia (all types )
  • Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia
  • Agnogenic myeloid metaplasia (myelofibrosis)

Familial erythrophagocytic Iymphohistiocytosis and other histiocytic disorders.

Note: Not all diseases have been specifically treated with cord blood stem cells. (Source: National Marrow Donor Program June 2005)
