Abstract excerpt
Genome editing produces genetic modifications in somatic cells, offering novel curative possibilities for sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia. These opportunities leverage clinical knowledge of hematopoietic stem cell transplant and gene transfer. Advantages to this mode of ex vivo therapy include locus-specific alteration of patient hematopoietic stem cell genomes, lack of allogeneic immune response, and...
