Presenting at the same time is Xeleron, also in beta thalassemia. Their abstract isn't available, maybe a ate breaker?

When is transfusion independence established? Is six months too early for such a signal?

It took one year for patient 1003 to became transfusion independent and with the improved vector time to transgene expression could be shorter, but if patients were more sever they might not reach transfusion independence but perhaps transfusion frequency reduction.
