Stem cells can develop into many cell types and act as the body’s repair system. They replace or restore damaged tissues, offering new possibilities for treating diseases.

Diagnosing marrow failure is a rigorous investigative process. Because pancytopenia can be caused by a myriad of conditions—including vitamin B12 deficiency, overwhelming viral infections, chemotherapy toxicity, or infiltration by cancers like lymphoma—the clinician must methodically rule out these reversible or malignant causes. The diagnostic evaluation aims to establish three key facts: the marrow’s emptiness, the absence of overt leukemia, and the specific etiology (immune versus genetic). This differentiation is critical because it dictates whether a patient receives immune suppression or a transplant.
The definitive diagnosis is based on visual examination of the bone marrow.
Historically, genetic testing was reserved for children. Today, we understand that inherited syndromes can present in adults. Cryptic presentations of genetic disorders are surprisingly common.
Screening for Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) is standard of care for all patients with marrow failure.
Once the diagnosis is confirmed, the patient undergoes a comprehensive work-up to assess eligibility for regenerative therapies.
The evaluation is holistic. Genetic counselors play a key role in explaining inherited risks to families. Fertility preservation specialists are consulted early, as both immunosuppressive therapy and transplant conditioning can impact reproductive potential. This thorough evaluation ensures that the chosen regenerative path offers the highest chance of cure with the lowest risk of long-term toxicity.

Blood tests alone can show low counts, but they cannot tell us why. The biopsy allows doctors to look inside the factory. It distinguishes between an empty factory (aplastic anemia) and a crowded factory filled with cancer cells (leukemia) or scar tissue (myelofibrosis).
The Diepoxybutane (DEB) test is a stress test for chromosomes used to diagnose Fanconi Anemia. Blood cells are exposed to a chemical that damages DNA. Healthy cells repair it; cells from Fanconi patients shatter. It is the definitive test for this syndrome.
Yes. Cryptic or mild forms of genetic diseases like Fanconi Anemia or Telomeropathies can go undiagnosed in childhood and present as marrow failure in adults (even in their 40s or 50s). Genetic testing is now recommended for younger adults to avoid using the wrong treatment.
Hypocellular means low cellularity. In a bone marrow biopsy, we expect to see a bustling community of blood-forming cells. In marrow failure, the biopsy shows an empty primary space and fat cells, with very few blood-forming cells remaining. This visual confirms the diagnosis.
Certain viruses, like Hepatitis (Non-A, Non-B, Non-C) and Parvovirus B19, can directly cause bone marrow failure. Identifying an active viral infection is important because treating the virus might allow the marrow to recover without needing a transplant.
