Hello Pat G, Andy,

Good day Everyone,

I guess the most we can do now is keep the faith. Gene expression will take time, the key component here is the transfusion gap after transplant will be increased more and more until now more transfusions are required for these patients. I believe that Dr. Sadelain and his team are doing the best that they can at this point in time.The Global Impact is sure to come.

Warm regards.

The latest is that one of the first two patients does now have an extended time between transfusions, so things are moving along.

All we are saying is give thals a chance.

Andy,

That is the best news we can expect at this time of the trial.  I hope that by this time next year at least one, if not both of these first two patients will be transfusion free.

Thank you for sharing,
