Humanized beta-thalassemia mouse model containing the common IVSI-110 splicing mutation.

Abstract excerpt

Splicing mutations are common causes of beta-thalassemia. Some splicing mutations permit normal splicing as well as aberrant splicing, which can give a reduced level of normal beta-globin synthesis causing mild disease (thalassemia intermedia). For other mutations, normal splicing is reduced to low levels, and patients are transfusion-dependent when homozygous for the disease. The development of therapies for...
