Abstract excerpt
Two common hemoglobinopathies, sickle cell disease (SCD) and β-thalassemia, arise from genetic mutations within the β-globin gene. A 500-bp motif termed Fetal Chromatin Domain (FCD), upstream of human ϒ-globin locus, may function as a transcriptional regulatory element driving inhibition of the ϒ-globin gene. Here, we hypothesize that the removal of this motif using CRISPR technology may reactivate the expression...
