| | Using gene therapy to treat immune deficiencies that are already 80% curable with bone marrow transplant is not a risk he would take for his own patients. | | | But Dr. Roifman, whose recent study of primary immune deficiency in a Canadian family will enable a precise understanding of the role of a key receptor, CD3, on the development of the normal immune system, takes a more cautious view. | | | The condition is now curable in some patients with bone marrow transplant, and Modell said he is particularly excited about gene therapy, used by Dr. Alain Fischer, professor in the department of pathological development of the immune system at the Hôpital Necker-Enfants Malades in Paris. |

| | Although some doctors believe that high-risk babies should be tested before birth, other specialists note that babies born with SCID can have a healthy immune system if they receive a bone marrow transplant within 3 months of birth. | | | Because early treatment is more successful, you can improve your child's chances of developing a healthy immune system by acting quickly. | | | Transplants done this early have a high success rate and help the baby avoid the pretransplant chemotherapy that's often necessary to prevent rejection of the donor bone marrow cells in an older child. |
