Notable for pediatric immunology specialists and hospitals that treat genetic conditions in infants and children, this genetic technology may allow full recovery for children with SCID, instead of a lifetime of medical monitoring and treatments.
The precision medicine finding that congenital blindness can be treated with gene therapy “bodes well, efficacy-wise, for future cohorts in the treatment of this severe childhood-onset photoreceptor disease,” according to the authors’ conclusion. It also offers hope to others with congenital diseases.
