It's been a long time coming...
Today is both Taylor Swift's birthday & the day I get to share the story of Shelby, a 7 (now 8) year old who's in the midst of a year+ "one-time" #genetherapy that will likely cure her #betathalassemia.
Don't miss the Taylor & Emily "The Space Gal" Calandrelli mentions, Shelby's budding #YouTube career, or how Sour Patch Kids are important for gene and #celltherapy:

#US #approves first #geneediting #treatment, #Casgevy, for #SickleCellDisease.
#SickleCell, an inherited #blood #disorder, causes #redbloodcells to become misshapen half moons that get stuck inside #blood #vessels, #restricting #bloodflow and causing what are known as #paincrises.

Sickle cell trait (SCT) is an adverse prognostic factor for COVID-19 #JAMA
N= 132k. People of #African ancestry are at high risk for COVID-related #death and #morbidity. This study found pts w SCT had 77% higher odds of #COVID19 mortality & 20% of fatalities were predicted by more acute kidney failure.
#SickleCell must be on the list of bad outcome predictors in COVID.
