The aim of this study is to determine if Müllerian agenesis has a genetic basis linked to the WNT genes. Genomic DNA analyses for mutations in the coding sequences of four members of this family in a series of 11 [...]

Gene Therapy for Immunodeficiency Due to Adenosine Deaminase Deficiency

The long term results of gene therapy for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) – a fatal disorder of purin metabolism and immunodeficiency that is caused by the lack of Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) was the background of this research’s journal. The researchers infused autologus CD34+ bone marrow cells transduced with retroviral vector containing the ADA gene into [...]
