Debate: Gene Addition or Gene Editing for Hemoglobinopathies?

In this podcast about gene therapy for hemoglobinopathies, our experts Dr. Evangelia Yanaki and Professor Franco Locatelli discuss the most effective approach for treating patients with these conditions, considering the safety concerns and potential complications associated, as well as the need for long-term monitoring of patients. 

In this debate recorded during the EHA22 Annual Congress, Dr. Yanaki advocates for gene addition therapy, while Professor Locatelli favors genome editing as a more precise approach. Despite their differing opinions, both speakers concur that additional research is necessary to fully comprehend the potential benefits and risks of both approaches.
