Two gene therapy patients, receiving autologous umbilical cord blood gene therapy in the 1990s, had only baseline characteristics evaluated and were then excluded from further survival analyses.

ATG, antithymocyte globulin; IS, immune suppression; N/A, not applicable; PBSC, peripheral blood stem cells; TCD, T-cell depletion.
