The 9-year-old Oakland patient received the single-infusion therapy on Aug. 15, 2023. If successful, the therapy could eliminate the need for further transfusions, enabling the child to producehealthy blood cellsand lead a normal life. "This new therapy could be a life-changer forbeta thal...
Mouse models for the cure of beta-thalassemia and sickle cell anemiaBreda, LRivella, SBreda L, Rivella S. Mouse models for the cure of β-thalassemia and sickle cell anemia. Minerva Biotec 2003;15:107-21.
Beta-thalassemia major and sickle cell anemia (SCD) are severe congenital anemias caused, respectively, by deficient production or alteration of the β chain of hemoglobin (Hb). β-thalassemia is characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis and hemolysis. In SCD, the β-chain is mutated, leading to...
The results "demonstrate the potential for a one-time gene therapy treatment to transform the lives of patients with beta-thalassemia major," said lead investigator Alexis Thompson of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in the US. Bluebird expects to complete enrolment in Northstar and...
Researchers hope this treatment can be a game-changer for world health. Sickle celldiseaseand beta thalassemia and other congenital blood disorders are major diseases in the world. Rondelli said 5 million people only in Nigeria suffer fromsickle cell disease, and many others in Africa. Also, cur...

Great potential for therapies Beta thalassemia and sickle cell anemia are just two examples of hereditary diseases caused by a single defective gene. A total of over 7,000 such genetic diseases are known. In principle, they all have the potential to be cured using CRISPR genome editing. Numerou...
