Installation of HbG-Makassar by base editing restores hemoglobin function: a transformative therapy for sickle cell disease
2024-03-14
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Adenine base editing offers a viable gene-based therapy for sickle cell disease (SCD), converting sickle hemoglobin (HbS, βΕ6V) to G-Makassar hemoglobin (HbG, βE6A), a naturally occurring, non-pathogenic variant. However, HbG functionality alone and with HbS has been largely uncharacterized. We present a mouse model used to characterize purified HbG-Makassar as well as HbGG and HbGS red...
