Autologous Gene Therapy for Hemoglobinopathies: From Bench to Patient's Bedside.
Molecular Therapy 2024 March 7
In recent years, a growing number of clinical trials have been initiated to evaluate gene therapy approaches for the treatment of patients with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT) and sickle cell disease (SCD). Therapeutic modalities being assessed in these trials utilize different molecular techniques, including lentiviral vectors to add functional copies of the gene encoding the hemoglobin β subunit in defective cells and CRISPR/Cas9, TALE nuclease (TALEN), and zinc finger nuclease (ZFN) gene editing strategies to either directly address the underlying genetic cause of disease or induce fetal hemoglobin production by gene disruption. Here, we review the mechanisms of action of these various gene addition and gene editing approaches and describe the status of clinical trials designed to evaluate the potentially for these approaches to provide one-time functional cures to patients with TDT and SCD.
