First of Its Kind Gene Therapy Model Offers Hope for X-Linked Sideroblastic Anemia Treatment
Researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine pioneered a first of its kind gene therapy model that offers a potential breakthrough in treating X-linked sideroblastic anemia (XLSA), a rare congenital anemia caused by mutations in the ALAS2 gene crucial for the synthesis of heme, a key compound in hemoglobin. This study marks the first time researchers studied gene therapy to treat this disease, which the authors underscore could have an impact on a broad spectrum of diseases. The research was published today and featured on the cover of the journal Blood.
