UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland is enrolling patients in an innovative clinical trial that seeks to cure sickle cell disease. The trial is the first in the U.S. to apply non-viral CRISPR-Cas9 ...

Sickle cell anemia causes pain, fatigue and delayed growth, all because of a lack of enough healthy red blood cells. And yet genetic mutations that cause it - recessive genes for the oxygen-carrying ...

From rural clinics to cutting-edge labs, AI and biosensing technologies are revolutionizing how sickle cell disease is detected and monitored. These tools promise faster, more accurate, and more ...

Gene and cell therapies bring fresh hope to people with genetic disorders, but recovery can be complex and long-term support remains sparse. For most of her life, Genesis Jones’s daily routine ...

Sickle cell disease is a hereditary condition, which means a person inherits it from their biological parents. The condition occurs when a person inherits two copies of the hemoglobin beta (HBB) gene ...

If you or someone you know has sickle cell disease (SCD), you may have heard of Lyfgenia, one of two gene therapies approved for this condition. Gene therapies are the only treatments for SCD that can ...

Sickle cell conditions are genetic blood disorders that affect haemoglobin, the molecule in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. While both sickle cell trait and sickle ...

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of genetic blood disorders. A person inherits SCD from their parents when they inherit two copies of the sickle cell gene, one from each parent. This hereditary ...
