Safety and efficacy studies of CRISPR-Cas9 treatment of sickle cell disease highlights disease-specific responses
22 Jul 2024
Abstract excerpt
Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) reactivation expression through CRISPR-Cas9 is a promising strategy for the treatment of sickle cell disease (SCD). Here, we describe a genome editing strategy leading to reactivation of HbF expression by targeting the binding sites (BSs) for the lymphoma-related factor (LRF) repressor in the γ-globin promoters. CRISPR-Cas9 treatment in healthy donor (HD) and patient-derived HSPCs resulted...
