2016-01-15
Abstract excerpt
Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a serious recessive genetic disorder caused by a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the ß-globin gene ( HBB ). Sickle hemoglobin polymerizes within red blood cells (RBCs), causing them to adopt an elongated “sickle” shape. Sickle RBCs damage vasculature, leading to severe symptoms, ultimately diminishing patient quality of life and reducing lifespan. Here, we use codelivery of a...
