Frangoul and colleagues: CRISPR–Cas9 editing for sickle-cell disease and β-thalassemia

Reported early clinical outcomes after ex vivo CRISPR–Cas9 disruption of a BCL11A erythroid enhancer in autologous hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells for one patient with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia and one with sickle-cell disease.

What is recorded here?

Reported early clinical outcomes after ex vivo CRISPR–Cas9 disruption of a BCL11A erythroid enhancer in autologous hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells for one patient with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia and one with sickle-cell disease.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

The record is the exact 2021 NEJM report of two treated patients and its stated follow-up. The CRISPR mechanism paper, later trial cohorts, regulatory approvals, manufacturing and claims of universal cure remain separate.
