Hello, doctor would like to answer the question: "Has the method of gene editing been carried out for Thalassemia patients yet?" As follows:
Treatment by gene editing for Thalassemia patients in the world is still being researched, tested and not yet conducted. And there is no specific date yet. If the case is severe Thalassemia, the current standard of Thalassemia treatment is allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
You can go to the nearest medical facility or Vinmec Health System Hospital for more detailed examination and advice by doctors. Best regards!
