Hydroxyurea is a first-line drug therapy for sickle cell disease but requires lifelong administration.
Quoted textsource-backed
Several drug therapies are available for SCD, including hydroxyurea, which is the first-line choice despite requiring lifelong administration.

Sickle cell disease is a prime candidate for gene therapy because it is a common single-gene disorder.
Quoted textsource-backed
Sickle cell disease is one of the most common single-gene disorders; therefore, SCD is a prime candidate for gene therapy.
