Genetic correction of concurrent α- and β-thalassemia patient-derived pluripotent stem cells by the CRISPR-Cas9 technology

Abstract Background Thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder characterized by decreased hemoglobin production. Severe anemia can damage organs and severe threat to life safety. Allogeneic transplantation of bone marrow-derived hematopoietic stem cell (HSCs) at present represents a promising therapeut...
