First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of altering globin gene expression in a cell, the method comprising:
- introducing, into the cell, one or more polynucleotides encoding a zinc finger nuclease (ZFN) or a TAL-effector domain nuclease (TALEN) that binds to a target site in a BCL11A gene as shown in any of SEQ ID Nos;
58-61, 65, 74 or 77, under conditions such that the nuclease cleaves and genetically modifies the BCL11A gene and expression of the globin gene is altered.
