Disease risk low indicates acute leukemia in first remission; CML, in first chronic phase; MDS, refractory anemia or nonmalignant hematologic disease; disease risk high, all other diagnoses; HLA match, identical HLA-A, -B, and -DRB1 loci; HLA mismatch, at least one disparity at one of these loci; BM, bone marrow; PB, peripheral blood; CB, cord blood; and RIST, reduced intensity conditioning regimens.
