Gene correction, one step at a time
Although gene therapy has been proposed for a variety of genetic disorders, including severe combined immunodeficiency, it has not yet found routine use in the clinic, in part because of potential complications. To help pave the way for safer translation of such gene therapy, Schiroli et al. studied potential approaches to it in mouse models of severe combined immunodeficiency. The authors systematically analyzed the outcomes of using different approaches to conditioning, different numbers of gene-edited cells, different techniques for editing the faulty gene, and other aspects of the technology to find the safest and most effective method.
