Reversal of Lethal - and β-Thalassemias in Mice by Expression of Human Embryonic Globins
1 Nov 1998
Abstract excerpt
Genetic mutations that block alpha- or beta-globin gene expression in humans can result in severe and frequently lethal thalassemic phenotypes. Homozygous inactivation of the endogenous alpha- or beta-globin genes in mice results in corresponding thalassemic syndromes that are uniformly fatal in utero. In the current study, we show that the viability of these mice can be rescued by expression of human embryonic...
