Gene Therapy of the β-Hemoglobinopathies by Lentiviral Transfer of the β A(T87Q) - Globin Gene
22 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
β-globin gene disorders are the most prevalent inherited diseases worldwide and result from abnormal β-globin synthesis or structure. Novel therapeutic approaches are being developed in an effort to move beyond palliative management. Gene therapy, by ex vivo lentiviral transfer of a therapeutic β-globin gene derivative (β(AT87Q)-globin) to hematopoietic stem cells, driven by cis-regulatory elements that confer...
