Grant Activity:
Silencing silencers to boost foetal globin production and treat ?-haemoglobinopathies
Purpose:
The genetic disorders ?-thalassaemia and sickle cell anaemia are caused by mutations in the adult globin gene. Fortunately, humans have a second globin gene, the foetal ?-globin gene, which is expressed in utero but turned off after birth. Re-activating expression of this foetal globin gene can alleviate the symptoms of ?-thalassaemia and sickle cell anaemia. We are using cutting edge gene editing technology to explore strategies for boosting foetal globin expression in affected individuals.
