Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder marked by the production of abnormal hemoglobin, leading to the distortion-or sickling-of red blood cells. The SCD arises from a single-point mutation that substitutes glutamic acid with valine at the sixth codon of the β-globin chain in hemoglobin. This substitution promotes deoxyhemoglobin aggregation, elevating red blood cell stiffness, and triggering vaso-occlusive and hemolytic repercussions.

X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is a rare inborn error of immunity caused by loss-of-function mutations in the gene encoding Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK). XLA patients lack mature B cells and have negligible antibody levels, leaving them susceptible to recurrent bacterial and chronic viral infections. Autologous hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy with gene-corrected HSC may serve as a promising treatment of XLA; this therapy would provide a one-time cure and would replace lifelong immunoglobulin replacement therapy.

Plasma cell myeloma (multiple myeloma) is a blood cancer characterized by the clonal proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow. Treatment strategies evolve year by year, new drugs getting Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved each year. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapies are an advanced form of immunotherapy that engineer T cells to recognize and destroy cancer cells.

Background: Autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) is increasingly used as a one-off disease-modifying therapy for aggressive forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). We report real-world effectiveness of AHSCT for MS in the UK.
Methods: This retrospective open-label study included patients with (pw)MS treated with AHSCT between 2002 and 2023 in 14 UK centres.
