who are prospectively:

1. Matched for HLA-A, B, C, DRB1 and DQB1 by high resolution typing;

2. Only a single allele disparity will be allowed for HLA-A, B, or C as defined by
high resolution typing

- Unrelated Donor: Patient and donor pairs homozygous at a mismatched allele in the
graft rejection vector are considered a two-allele mismatch, i.e., the patient is
A*0101 and the donor is A*0102, and this type of mismatch is not allowed

- HLA Matched Related Donor: G-CSF mobilized peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC)
only will be permitted as a hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) source on this protocol

- HLA Matched Unrelated Donor: Donor must consent to PBSC mobilization with G-CSF and
apheresis; bone marrow unrelated donors are not eligible for this protocol

Exclusion Criteria:

- Organ dysfunction as defined by the following:

- Symptomatic coronary artery disease or cardiac ejection fraction < 35% (or, if
unable to obtain ejection fraction, shortening fraction of <26%); if shortening
fraction is <26% a cardiology consult is required with the PI having final
approval of eligibility; ejection fraction is required if age > 50 years or
there is a history of anthracycline exposure or history of cardiac disease

- Diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) < 35%, TLC < 35%,
forced expiratory volume (FEV)1 < 35% and/or receiving supplementary continuous
oxygen; the FHCRC PI of the study must approve of enrollment of all patients
with pulmonary nodules

- Liver function abnormalities: Patient with clinical or laboratory evidence of
liver disease will be evaluated for the cause of liver disease, its clinical
severity in terms of liver function, bridging fibrosis, and the degree of portal
hypertension; the patient will be excluded if he/she is found to have fulminant
liver failure, cirrhosis of the liver with evidence of portal hypertension,
alcoholic hepatitis, esophageal varices, a history of bleeding esophageal
varices, hepatic encephalopathy, uncorrectable hepatic synthetic dysfunction
evinced by prolongation of the prothrombin time, ascites related to portal
hypertension, bacterial or fungal liver abscess, biliary obstruction, chronic
viral hepatitis with total serum bilirubin > 3mg/dL, or symptomatic biliary
disease

- Bone marrow documenting blast count >= 10% or >= 5% in CMML patients who have
progressed beyond CMML1 and received myelosuppressive chemotherapy

- Patients with active non-hematologic malignancies (except non-melanoma skin cancers);
this exclusion does not apply to patients with non-hematologic malignancies that do
not require therapy

- Patients with a history of non-hematologic malignancies (except non-melanoma skin
cancers) currently in a complete remission, who are less than 5 years from the time
of complete remission, and have a > 20% risk of disease recurrence

- Matched Related Donor: Prior malignancy within the preceding five yrs, with the
exception of non-melanoma skin cancers

- Matched Related Donor: HIV seropositivity

- Unrelated Donor: A positive anti-donor cytotoxic crossmatch is an absolute donor
exclusion; donors are excluded when preexisting immunoreactivity is identified that
would jeopardize donor hematopoietic cell engraftment; this determination is based on
the standard practice of the individual institution; the recommended procedure for
patients with 10 of 10 HLA allele level (phenotypic) match is to obtain a panel
reactive antibody (PRA) screens to class I and class II antigens for all patients
before HCT; if the PRA shows > 10% activity, then flow cytometric or B and T cell
cytotoxic cross matches should be obtained; the donor should be excluded if any of
the cytotoxic cross match assays are positive; for those patients with an HLA Class I
allele mismatch, flow cytometric or B and T cell cytotoxic cross matches should be
obtained regardless of the PRA results

- Unrelated Donor: Marrow donors

- Unrelated Donor: Donors who are HIV-positive and/or medical conditions that would
result in increased risk to the donor G-CSF mobilization and G-PBMC collections

- Unrelated Donor: Serious medical or psychological illness

- Unrelated Donor: Pregnant or lactating females

- Unrelated Donor: Prior malignancy within the preceding five yrs, with the exception
of non-melanoma skin cancers
