Sickle cell disease (SCD) is caused by a single point mutation in the human βA globin gene that results in the formation of an abnormal hemoglobin [HbS (α2βS 2)]. We designed a βA globin gene variant that prevents HbS polymerization and introduced it into a lentiviral vector we optimized for transfer to hematopoietic stem cells and gene expression in the adult red blood cell lineage. Long-term expression (up to 10 months) was achieved, without preselection, in all transplanted mice with…
