GENE CORRECTION FOR SCID-X1 IN LONG-TERM HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELLS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18007439 titled 'GENE CORRECTION FOR SCID-X1 IN LONG-TERM HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELLS

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure involves methods and compositions for treating SCID-X1 in subjects by genetically modifying cells ex vivo with a full-length, codon-optimized IL2RG cDNA at the endogenous IL2RG locus.

  • Genetically modifying cells from subjects ex vivo
  • Integrating a full-length, codon-optimized IL2RG cDNA at the endogenous IL2RG locus

Potential Applications

The technology could potentially be used in the treatment of SCID-X1 in subjects by correcting the genetic mutation responsible for the condition.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the genetic mutation that causes SCID-X1, providing a potential treatment option for affected individuals.

Benefits

- Offers a potential treatment for SCID-X1 - Targets the root cause of the condition by correcting the genetic mutation

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology could have commercial applications in the field of gene therapy for SCID-X1 and other genetic disorders.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of gene therapy in treating genetic disorders, including SCID-X1.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology compare to existing treatments for SCID-X1?

This article does not provide a direct comparison to existing treatments for SCID-X1. Further research or clinical trials may be needed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this new approach.

What are the potential long-term effects of genetically modifying cells in this manner?

The article does not address the potential long-term effects of genetically modifying cells with a full-length, codon-optimized IL2RG cDNA. Additional studies may be required to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of this treatment approach.
