Ex‐vivo gene transfer of autologous haematopoietic stem cells in patients with monogenic diseases of the bone marrow has emerged as a new therapeutic approach, mainly in patients lacking a suitable donor for transplant. The encouraging results of initial clinical trials of gene therapy for primary immunodeficiencies were tempered by the occurrence of genotoxicity in a number of patients. Over the last decade, safer viral vectors have been developed to overcome the risk of insertional…

Gene Therapy for Primary Immunodeficiencies

Clinical trials for SCID-X1, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, and recently ADA-SCID showed sustained engraftment of gene-corrected cells, restored immune function, and general improvement of clinical condition, with a positive safety profile, so continuous monitoring will be important to confirm long-term safety and efficacy.

Gene Therapy with Hematopoietic Stem Cells: The Diseased Bone Marrow's Point of View.

The present mini-review shall briefly summarize characteristics of the bone marrow content of the different stem and precursor cells and the cells' relationship with the stroma and outline the possible consequences and challenges.

The history and current status of clinical trials of ex vivo gene therapy for hematological disorders are introduced and discussed and six gene therapies have been approved in a limited number of countries worldwide.

Semi-automated closed system manufacturing of lentivirus gene-modified haematopoietic stem cells for gene therapy

A novel program for semi-automated cell isolation and culture equipment is developed to permit complete benchtop generation of gene-modified CD34+ blood cell products for transplantation, which are capable of stable, polyclonal multilineage reconstitution with follow-up of more than 1 year.

Gene Editing of Hematopoietic Stem Cells: Hopes and Hurdles Toward Clinical Translation

The state of the art of ex vivo gene editing with programmable nucleases in human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) is reviewed and the potential advantages and the current challenges toward safe and effective clinical translation are highlighted.

A number of the original medical milestones of thalassemia diagnosis and treatment are traced, as well as some of the most recent developments which may lead to innovative therapeutic modalities.

Review on Thalassemia

Recent research has mainly focused on studying thalassemia at the basic science level, which resulted in the identification of unknown mechanisms leading to anemia and enabling the development of novel therapies which helps to improve the treatment of, and possibly cure the disease.

CD40 ligand deficiency: treatment strategies and novel therapeutic perspectives

This review highlights that beyond B cell defects, patients’ susceptibility to opportunistic pathogens might be due to impaired T cell and innate immune responses and how better knowledge of CD40L function and regulation may result in the development of new treatments.

Targeted gene therapy into a safe harbor site in human hematopoietic progenitor cells

The results show the possibility to specifically integrate genes at the SH6 locus in CD34 + progenitor cells, although further improvements in the efficacy of the procedure are required before this approach could be used for the gene editing of hematopoietic stem cells in patients with hematopolietic diseases.

Faster T-cell development following gene therapy compared with haploidentical HSCT in the treatment of SCID-X1.

Efficacy of gene therapy for X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency.

After nearly 10 years of follow-up, gene therapy was shown to have corrected the immunodeficiency associated with SCID-X1 and may be an option for patients who do not have an HLA-identical donor for hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation and for whom the risks are deemed acceptable.

Stem Cell Collection and Gene Transfer in Fanconi Anemia.

It is reported that FA patients have significant depletion of their BMCD34+ cell compartment even before severe pancytopenia is present, and oncoretroviral-mediated ex vivo gene transfer was efficient in clinical scale in FA-A cells, leading to reversal of the cellular phenotype in a significant percentage of CD34+ cells.
