Engraftment was documented in all patients with sex-mismatched donors and with donor constitutional aberrations. During the follow-up, ranging from 6 to 110 months, clinical and hematologic relapse was observed in 11 patients (35.5\%). Five of these cases showed a normal karyotype, 3 were of undefined relapse origin, 2 were aneuploid karyotypes, and one was donor (male) metaphases. Cytogenetic and immunologic data in the latter patient were suggestive of relapse in donor cells.}, keywords = {*Bone Marrow Transplantation, Adolescent, Adult, Child, Child, Preschool, Female, Humans, Karyotyping, Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Acute / *genetics, Leukemia, Nonlymphocytic, Acute / *genetics, Male, Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov{\textquoteright}t}, author = {Palka,G. and Calabrese,G. and Di Girolamo,G. and Stuppia,L. and Di Bartolomeo,P. and Guanciali Franchi,P. and Di Virgilio,C. and Bianchi,G.
