Happy new year to everyone!
health-joy-creativity.
With us health always comes first as a wish.But we are not to forget besides being thals we are normal people who need to be joyful and creative. Thalassaemia cannot hold us hostages.
So,
Happy new year to Abareen. The sun always shines in the end.
and
Happy new year to you Andy,
I was wondering how things are going with gene therapy because here in Greece we have a centre that deals with it and first phase has been completed. You are talking about tests in June. In which country? give us an idea of where things stand.

Let's pray that this is the year that we finally hear of success in finding a cure for thalassemia. In June, gene therapy trials on humans are planned to start. By autumn we should have some word on how successful it has been. Let's hope that the TIF conference in October is all abuzz with the word of success of these trials! :thumbsup

Andy Battaglia:
Hi Lena,
We have been following the progress towards the beginning of gene therapy trials in our threads at http://www.thalassemiapatientsandfriends.com/index.php?topic=1114.0 and http://www.thalassemiapatientsandfriends.com/index.php?topic=1115.0
The trials are slated to be done at Sloan-Kettering in New York and the National Institute of health (NIH).
Do you know if the results of the first phase of the Greek trials have been published yet, or what the outcome is to this date?
