Genetic and Epigenetic Therapies for β-Thalassaemia by Altering the Expression of α-Globin Gene

β-Thalassaemia is caused by over 300 mutations in and around the β-globin gene that lead to impaired synthesis of β-globin. The expression of α-globin continues normally, resulting in an excess of α-globin chains within red blood cells and their precursors. These unpaired α-globin chains form unstab...
