Thrombocytopenia is a serious issue for all classical Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome (WAS) and X-linked thrombocytopenia (XLT) patients as it causes severe and life-threatening bleedings. Lentiviral gene therapy (GT) for WAS has shown promising results in terms of immune reconstitution. However, despite the reduced severity and frequency of bleeding events, platelet (PLT) counts remain low in GT -treated patients.

Abstract

Thrombocytopenia is a serious issue for all classical Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome (WAS) and X-linked thrombocytopenia (XLT) patients as it causes severe and life-threatening bleedings. Lentiviral gene therapy (GT) for WAS has shown promising results in terms of immune reconstitution. However, despite the reduced severity and frequency of bleeding events, platelet (PLT) counts remain low in GT -treated patients.
