Cheers and a big congratulations to you Andy.

So the trials on the French patient was running since 3 years? I thought the trials just started recently though?

10 years are sort of big too. I hope in 5 years or so, we will see a working cure for thal. Not that I'm impatient, but it feels to great to live without any disorder or I should ask "How it feels to live without any problem", without any transfusion, daily 2 doses of chelators, basically the change in whole day-to-day routine. Haha.

MashaAllah (what God willed (for))! Andy......THANK YOU :yes ;D

Andy Battaglia:
From the data reviewed at the conference, I would say that the full effect is not seen for at least 2-3 years as the gains in Hb occur over a long period. I think that after two years, we will have an excellent idea if it works. The key for patients is to stay in good shape so they can benefit from this advancement.

 My husband and I unfortunately could no make this, Thank you so much for the update!!! =)
