Abstract: Genetic manipulation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is being developed as a therapeutic strategy for several inherited disorders. This field is rapidly evolving with several novel tools and techniques being employed to achieve desired genetic changes. While commercial products are now available for sickle cell disease, transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia, metachromatic leukodystrophy and adrenoleukodystrophy, several challenges remain in patient selection, HSC mobilization and collection, genetic manipulation of stem cells, conditioning, hematologic recovery and post-transplant complications, financial issues, equity of access and institutional and global preparedness. In this report, we explore the current state of development of these therapies and provide a comprehensive assessment of the challenges these therapies face as well as potential solutions. © 2024 International Society for Cell & Gene Therapy
