MoAbase editing of HBG1/2 to reactivate fetal hemoglobin

BEAM-101 is an ex vivo base-editing therapy developed by Beam Therapeutics for sickle cell disease that uses an adenine base editor (ABE) to reactivate fetal hemoglobin in a patient's own blood stem cells. Unlike CRISPR/Cas9, which creates double-strand DNA breaks, base editing chemically converts a single DNA letter (A→G) at the HBG1/2 promoter without cutting the double helix — an approach designed to improve editing precision and reduce chromosomal rearrangements. Elevated fetal hemoglobin compensates for the defective adult sickle hemoglobin, preventing red cell sickling; BEAM-101 is in Phase 1/2 with data presented at hematology conferences.
