Gene therapy may be classified into two types by the type of cell it affects: somatic cell and germline gene therapy. In somatic cell gene therapy (SCGT), the therapeutic genes are transferred into any cell other than a gamete, germ cell, gametocyte, or undifferentiated stem cell.
The therapy known as Casgevy [9] works through editing a dysfunctional protein that interferes with creation of adult hemoglobin. This gene is known as the BCL11A, and when people have Beta thalassemia, their bodies do not make enough adult hemoglobin. Casgevy uses precise gene editing of stem cells, and reduces the activity of BCL11A.

Jesse Gelsinger. Jesse Gelsinger (June 18, 1981 – September 17, 1999) was the first person publicly identified as having died in a clinical trial for gene therapy. ...
Gene therapy was to restore some of the sight of mice with achromatopsia. The results were positive for 80% of the mice treated. [7] In 2010, gene therapy for a form of achromatopsia was performed in dogs. Cone function and day vision have been restored for at least 33 months in two young dogs with achromatopsia.
The gene therapy will compete with Australia-based CSL Behring’s Hemgenix, a similar treatment that won FDA approval for hemophilia B in 2022. That drug has a similar list price of $3.5 million ...
The 140 kDa subunit is encoded by the human gene SUPT16H, (SPT16 in S. cerevisiae) while the 80 kDa subunit is encoded by the human gene SSRP1 (POB3 in S. cerevisiae). Both of these subunits in yeast affect Pol II transcription elongation, and purified human FACT binds specifically to mononucleosomes and the histone H2A / H2B dimer, but not to ...
William French Anderson (born December 31, 1936) is an American physician, geneticist and molecular biologist.He is known as the "father of gene therapy".He graduated from Harvard College in 1958, Trinity College, Cambridge University (England) in 1960, and from Harvard Medical School in 1963.
