Ex vivo cellular system that accurately replicates sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia characteristics is a highly sought-after goal in the field of erythroid biology. In this study, we present the generation of erythroid progenitor lines with sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia mutation using CRISPR/Cas9. The disease cellular models exhibit similar differentiation profiles, globin expression and proteome dynamics as patient-derived hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. Additionally, these cellular models recapitulate pathological conditions associated with both the diseases...
