Base editing—the genome editing technique that alters base pairs using a nuclease-deficient Cas9 fused to a deaminase—was found to restart fetal hemoglobin expression in sickle cell disease (SCD) ...

Adenosine base editing restarted fetal hemoglobin expression in cells from patients with sickle cell disease. Gene therapy that alters hemoglobin genes may be an answer to curing sickle cell disease ...

Scientists and physicians can better assess precision genome editing technology using a new method made public today by St.
