Transfusion independence and HMGA2 activation after gene therapy of human β-thalassaemia
2010
Disorders caused by abnormal β-
globin, such as β-
thalassaemia, are the most prevalent inherited disorders worldwide. For treatment, many patients are dependent on
blood transfusions; thus far the only cure has involved matched transplantation of haematopoietic stem cells. Here it is shown that lentiviral β-
globingene transfer can be an effective substitute for regular transfusions in a patient with severe β-
thalassaemia.
