Cell Stem Cell. 2025 Jan 2;32(1):4-6. doi: 10.1016/j.stem.2024.12.003.

Abstract

Diamond-Blackfan anemia syndrome is a ribosomopathy classified among the bone marrow failure syndromes. This disease exhibits significant heterogeneity, with up to 24 genetic variants identified to date. Voit et al.1 present compelling preclinical evidence supporting a universal lentiviral gene therapy strategy to treat patients, regardless of the specific gene involved.
