Gene therapy for haemophilia: prospects and challenges to prevent or reverse inhibitor formation

Abstract excerpt

Monogenic hereditary diseases, such as haemophilia A and B, are ideal targets for gene therapeutic approaches. While these diseases can be treated with protein therapeutics, such as factor VIII (FVIII) or IX (FIX), the notion that permanent transfer of the genes encoding these factors can cure haemophilia is very attractive. An underlying problem with a gene therapy approach, however, is the patient's immune...
