Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in the β-globin gene (HBB) cause haemoglobinopathies where current treatments have serious limitations. Gene correction by homologous recombination (HR) is an attractive approach to gene therapy for such diseases and is stimulated by gene-specific endonucleases, including zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs). Customised nucleases targeting HBB have previously been shown to promote HR-mediated HBB...
