Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chimerism refers to the presence of both donor and recipient cells in the recipient's body after a bone marrow transplant. If the recipient's cells have a normal karyotype, it indicates that the bone marrow transplant was successful in replacing the recipient's abnormal cells with normal donor cells, resulting in chimerism with the presence of normal cells. Partial engraftment refers to a situation where only a portion of the donor bone marrow is successful in engrafting into the recipient's body. Mosaic and aneuploid refer to genetic conditions unrelated to bone marrow transplantation.
