Autologous and cancer stem cell gene therapy by SciTech Book News Since an early attempt to correct the adenosine deaminase deficiency form of severe combined immunodeficiency in humans in 1990, (3) there have been 95 approved gene transfer trials worldwide that have been geared toward treating single-gene disorders.
