The company plans to study the effect of drug depending on the intensity of disease — from major to intermediate to minor.

Great!

Andy,
when I researched in google, I found that Sanofi-Genzyme has invested in Bluebird bio and it shows up in their bioventure portfolio. Bluebird bio is MA based. So I am wondering if this is what they are referring to in the article.

I think this is the one the article was talking about: LentiGlobin BB305 by Sanofi
