  19. Proportion of alleles with intended genetic modification present in CD34+ cells of bone marrow over time [ Time Frame: 6 months up to 2 years after CTX001 infusion ]
  20. Change in patient-reported outcome (PRO) over time assessed using weekly pain-scale (11-point numerical rating scale [NRS]) [ Time Frame: 3 months up to 2 years after CTX001 infusion ]
    The NRS is a 1-dimensional measure of reporting intensity of pain. The score of NRS ranges from 0 to 10 points, with higher values indicating a higher level of pain.

  21. Change in PRO over time assessed using EuroQol quality of life scale (EQ-5D-5L) [ Time Frame: 3 months up to 2 years after CTX001 infusion ]
    The EQ-5D-5L Questionnaire consists of the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ visual analogue scale (VAS). The EQ-5D comprises 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression, and 5 levels: no problems to extreme problems. The subject marks the most appropriate statement in each dimension, resulting in a 1-digit number for that dimension. The digits can be combined in a 5-digit number describing the subject's health state. The EQ VAS records the subject's self-rated health on a 100-point VAS, endpoints labelled "the best health you can imagine" and "the worst health you can imagine"

  22. Change in PRO over time assessed using EQ-5D-Youth (EQ-5D-Y) [ Time Frame: 3 months up to 2 years after CTX001 infusion ]
  23. Change in PRO over time assessed using functional assessment of cancer therapy-bone marrow transplant (FACT-BMT) questionnaire [ Time Frame: 3 months up to 2 years after CTX001 infusion ]
    The FACT-BMT Questionnaire includes physical, social, family, emotional, and functional well-being, and treatment specific concerns of bone marrow transplantation. Each statement has a 5-point Likert-type response scale ranging from 0=not at all to 4=very much. The subject marks one number per line as it applies to the past 7 days. Questionnaires are then scored; the higher the score, the better the quality of life.

  24. Change in PRO over time assessed using adult sickle cell quality of life measurement system (ASCQ-Me) [ Time Frame: 3 months up to 2 years after CTX001 infusion ]
    ASCQ-Me comprises measures to assess physical, mental and social health along with information on severity of disease. It includes the following domains: emotional impact, pain impact, pain episodes, sleep impact, social functioning impact, stiffness impact and SCD medical history checklist. ASCQ-Me domains are scored using T-score metric with mean of 50 for reference population and SD of 10. Higher scores indicate healthier status.

  25. Change in PRO over time assessed using pediatric quality of life inventory (PedsQL) [ Time Frame: 3 months up to 2 years after CTX001 infusion ]
  26. Change in PRO over time assessed using PedsQL sickle cell disease module [ Time Frame: 3 months up to 2 years after CTX001 infusion ]
