Background: β-Thalassemia and other β-hemoglobinopathies arise from defective β-globin production, and reactivating fetal hemoglobin (HbF) is a well-established strategy to ameliorate disease severity. Two principal gene-therapy approaches—erythroid-specific γ-globin gene addition and shRNA/shmiRNA-mediated knockdown o...

In vitro studies in an erythroid progenitor cell line and primary CD34+ cells demonstrated that the EPORW439* variant conferred a strong proliferative advantage to therapeutically modified erythroid progenitors, establishing a strategy to amplify the therapeutic benefit of otherwise limited in vivo HSPC gene editing fo...

The results suggest that this approach may overcome the reliance on busulfan or other myeloablative conditioning regimens with their associated morbidities, and by enabling toxin-free conditioning and in vivo selection of edited cells, may facilitate clinical implementation of these highly valuable genetic therapies.
