Chennai, 23rd July 2025: MGM Cancer Institute successfully performed a life-saving bone marrow transplant (BMT) on 33-year-old Ms. Janani, who was diagnosed with GATA2 primary immunodeficiency, a rare genetic disorder that weakens the immune system by impairing the production of essential blood and immune cells.

Despite experiencing severe infection and gut-related complications during the transplant process, Ms. Janani responded well to intensive care, achieved timely engraftment, the point at which the newly transplanted stem cells begin producing healthy blood cells, and made a full recovery, returning to normal life just three months after the procedure.
