Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic condition that affects more than 8 million people worldwide by altering the shape of oxygen-carrying red blood cells. Normally, red blood cells are shaped like ...
A publicly funded consortium of University of California (UC) researchers and clinicians is one big step closer to realizing a decade-long plan to launch a CRISPR-based gene-editing trial for sickle ...
The first gene therapies approved to treat sickle cell disease in December 2023 are struggling on the market. But there are glimpses of forward momentum as Vertex and Genetix Bio provide updates.
UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland is enrolling patients in an innovative clinical trial that seeks to cure sickle cell disease. The trial is the first in the U.S. to apply non-viral CRISPR-Cas9 ...
Healthy Living with USA Health: Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center provides life changing Gene Therapy
MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - Gene therapy for sickle cell disease (SCD) is a cutting-edge treatment that targets the root cause of the disorder—a genetic mutation in the HBB gene, which leads to the ...
When Dr. Ambroise Wonkam walked into a panel on medical genetics out of curiosity, he had no idea it would shape the course of his career. Born in Cameroon, Wonkam has dedicated his career to studying ...

Vence L. Bonham Jr., Acting Deputy Director at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and an investigator in the National Human Genome Research Institute’s (NHGRI) Division of Intramural ...
The discovery, led by researchers at Dana-Farber, could pave the way for interventions to reduce the risk of blood cancers among people with sickle-cell disease. A large-scale genomic analysis, led by ...
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of inherited blood disorders resulting from a mutation in the hemoglobin protein in red blood cells. This mutation changes the shape of the blood cells from round, ...
People are often encouraged to “know their status,” however this healthy habit can be applied to more than just safe-sex practices. Although they are not the only community who suffers with sickle ...
