unusual facts about gene therapy



Batten disease

In June 1987, a Phase I clinical trial was launched at Weill Medical College of Cornell University to study a gene therapy method for treatment of the signs and symptoms of late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (LINCL).

Choroideremia

In a procedure first attempted at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, researchers at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford have used gene therapy to attempt to curtail the condition which is caused by a faulty gene labelled REP1 and causes the light sensitive cells in the eye to gradually die.

The monkeys are used scientific research, including gene therapy, cancer, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, stem cells and antibody-based treatments.

Italo Cappabianca

He was diagnosed with brain cancer in the summer of 1999 and underwent an experimental gene therapy treatment at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute.

Michael R. Hayden

Hayden also identified the first mutations underlying Lipoprotein lipase deficiency (LPL) and developed gene therapy approaches to treat this condition.

Successful gene therapy solutions have been recently achieved on mouse models by Jiang Chen M.D., a post-doctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dennis Roop, Ph.D., in the Center for Cutaneous Molecular Biology at Baylor College of Medicine.

Katie Logan

Until Katie's niece, Bridget, discovered a cool gene therapy, which had been done in Stockholm that could perhaps help.

Myelomalacia

Treatments that have been proposed include treatment for physical trauma, degenerative conditions, and genetic diseases (in combination with gene therapy).

Naoto Ueno

He is best known for his preclinical development of E1A gene therapy and multiple preclinical development which led to novel clinical trials related to inflammatory breast cancer and triple negative breast cancer.
