In an AP report released today, an article in the upcoming SCIENCE
describes a
novel method to treat sickle cell disease. It shows promise.

"The technique does not change the fundamental mutation in a patient's
DNA.
Instead, it changes the instructions given by the DNA. This is like a
courier
changing a message as he carries it from the boss to a work crew. The
crew
will end up following the revised instructions instead of what the boss
ordered."

I'll post more information if and when I receive it.  This technique may
possibly be extrapolated to treat myeloproliferative disease.
