16 year old tired for over a year bone marrow failure

Hi new here! My 16 year old son has been exhausted for over a year and has had low grade fevers frequently. When we first saw our ped. For this complaint. She ordered bloodwork. His wbc and plt were low(2.9) and 106. He was referred to a hemotologist. He has had 2 bone marrow biopsies this year with about 10-15% cellularity. He has lost weight iver the past year despite eating well. Currently the doctors are perplexed as to the cause all viral studies werw negative. Rbc are nirmal but enlarged The plt are low on coint and also enlarged. Going for Gi testing soon to see if there is any metabolic problems. B-12 was 185 low but they never even mentioned it. Ugh!!! Any help is appreciated!
