Transformed cells are transferred to the patient, T cells and B Cells appear in the blood. Since then, approximately 3,200 clinical trials have been conducted using a range of techniques for gene therapy. It involves transplantation of a patient’s own HSCs following ex vivo. The treatment effects were only temporary, but successful. HSC gene therapy (HSC GT) is one approach that has been used to deliver stable engraftment of gene-corrected HSCs. For patients with SCID due to ADA deficiency, replacement therapy with a modified form of the enzyme (from a cow, called PEGADA) has been used with some success. It was performed on a four-year-old girl as a treatment for a genetic defect that caused her to have an immune system deficiency (SCID).
The absence of this enzyme leads to an accumulation of toxic metabolic byproducts within lymphocytes that cause the cells to die. ADA is essential for the metabolic function of a variety of body cells but especially T-cells. Another type of SCID is caused by mutations in a gene that encodes an enzyme called adenosine deaminase (ADA). The functional ADA gene is transferred into these cells through the use of restriction enzymes. From the bone marrow of the patient are cultured outside the body. This condition is generally considered to be the most serious of the primary immune deficiencies. Enzyme replacement therapy Pegademase bovine (PEG-ADA) treatment is an enzyme replacement. These defects lead to extreme susceptibility to very serious infections. Inherited mutations in more than a different genes cause SCID. ADA SCID stands in stark contrast to other inherited immunodeficiencies where gammaretroviral gene therapy was used, in that insertional oncogenesis has been very rarely seen. There are at least 13 different genetic defects that can cause SCID. Severe Combined Immune Deficiency (SCID) is a potentially fatal primary immuno deficiency in which there is combined absence of T-lymphocyte and B-lymphocyte function.
The technique of gene therapy was initiated in 1972. Deficiency of Adenosine Deaminase causes SCID. Gene therapy is an experimental technique in which genes are introduced into individual cells or tissues, to cure some hereditary diseases in which a defective allele of a gene is replaced with normal one.
