GENE EDITING OF MONOGENIC DISORDERS IN HUMAN HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELLS -- CORRECTION OF X-LINKED AGAMMAGLOBULINEMIA (XLA)

摘要

In certain embodiments methods of treating X-Linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) in a mammal are provided where the methods comprise: i) providing differentiated T cells and/or stem/progenitor cells from the mammal; ii) performing a targeted insertion of a corrective BTK cDNA at the BTK gene locus in said cells to provide a corrected BTK gene in said cells; and iii) introducing said cells into said mammal where said corrected BTK gene is expressed in a physiologically regulated manner.
