간단한 설명
Zynteglo adds a working copy of the beta-globin gene into a patient's own blood stem cells using a modified virus, so their body can make normal haemoglobin again. Most people treated in its trials no longer needed blood transfusions. It treats the same condition as Casgevy by a different route.
