Abstract

Severe haemoglobinopathies, including sickle cell disease and β-thalassaemia, represent significant global health burdens. CRISPR technology enables precise genetic editing of haematopoietic stem cells, with current therapies focused on boosting fetal haemoglobin production for a functional cure. This review finds that, while promising, ex vivo approaches require advanced facilities and substantial resources, limiting accessibility where the need is highest. Future development of in vivo methods may expand global access, addressing the urgent need for scalable and affordable treatments for these debilitating diseases.
