Article Synopsis
- β-thalassemia and sickle cell disease are common genetic blood disorders caused by mutations in the β-globin gene, leading to anemia and requiring treatments like blood transfusions and bone marrow transplants.
- New research is exploring the potential of inducing ε-globin expression, which was previously thought non-inducible postnatally, as a way to improve treatment outcomes for these conditions.
- The review highlights the need for further research into the mechanisms of ε-globin silencing and suggests future drug development initiatives to harness its therapeutic benefits.
