CRISPR-Based Mediated Reactivation of Fetal Hemoglobin as a Therapeutic Strategy for Hemoglobinopathies: Evidence from Preclinical to Clinical Trials in Sickle Cell Disease and β-Thalassemia.

β-Hemoglobinopathies, including sickle cell disease (SCD) and β-thalassemia, are inherited disorders caused by mutations in the β-globin gene (HBB), leading to defective production of adult hemoglobin (HbA), vaso-occlusive crises, and rapid destruction of erythrocytes as they leave the bone marrow, resulting in hemolyt...
