| | Gene Therapy and Children |
| | Gene therapy's potential to revolutionize medicine in the future is exciting, and its expectations for curing and preventing childhood diseases is encouraging. | | | This is the more common form of gene therapy that's being done throughout the world. | | | For example, finding out your child doesn't carry the gene for a disorder that runs in your family might mean that he or she doesn't have to undergo yearly screenings or other regular exams. |

| | Gene therapy in peripheral blood lymphocytes and bone marrow for ADA-immunodeficient patients. | | | Overzealous representation of clinical gene therapy has obscured the exploratory nature of the initial studies, colored the manner in which findings are portrayed to the scientific press and public, and led to the widely held, but mistaken, perception that clinical gene therapy is already highly successful. | | | Partial effects are commonplace in cancer treatment, and gene therapy approaches therefore may find acceptance as a useful addition to the therapeutic arsenal. |
