The article discusses the transfer of globin gene as treatment potential for the β-
thalassaemias and sickle cell diseases, in the United States. The β-thalassaemias and
sickle cell diseases are congenital anaemias that resulted from the deficiency or altered
synthesis of the haemoglobin β chain. In serious haemoglobinopathy, studies from
laboratories certify to the efficacy in the transfer of globin gene in mouse models.
