About this trial
This study is designed to estimate the efficacy and toxicity of familial HLA mismatched bone marrow transplants in patients with non-malignant disease who are less than 21 years of age and could benefit from the procedure.

Sickle nephropathy
Disqualifiers
Patients who have an HLA-identical sibling who is able and willing to donate bone marrow
