Study of Genomic Integrity and Safety of Stem-Cell Gene Therapy in Cohorts in Africa.
REFNo: HS3660ES

The overall aim of this research is to establish safe and accessible gene therapies for sickle cell disease by comparing and contrasting cohorts in Africa to the data already obtained from the USA and UK thus establishing a more accurate authentic dataset. We hypothesise that patients with SCD may have elevated somatic mutation rates as compared to healthy non-SCD individuals and that the mutational processes driving the acquisition of these genetic lesions are varied from individual to individual.
