Molecular mechanisms of immune deficiency in adenosine deaminase (ADA)-deficient SCID patients : implications for stem cell gene therapy
2007-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) gene are responsible for a form of Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID), explained by the lymphotoxic accumulation of ADA substrates, adenosine and 2'-deoxy-adenosine. Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs)-based gene therapy (GT) has been shown to correct both the immune and metabolic defect of ADA-SCID children, thus providing a unique model to investigate the molecular me...
