A serious adverse event after successful gene therapy for X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency
Abstract
To the Editor: We recently reported (April 18 issue)1 the sustained correction of X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency disease by ex vivo, retrovirally mediated transfer of the γc gene into CD34+ cells in four of five patients with the disease. These results have since been confirmed in four additional patients with typical X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency. Of the first four successfully treated patients, three continue to do well up to 3.6 years after gene therapy, whereas a serious adverse event occurred in the fourth patient. At a routine checkup 30 months after gene therapy, lymphocytosis consisting of a monoclonal population . . .

Lentiviral vectors are considered safer than gamma-retroviral vectors in terms of their semi-random integration patterns, as gene integration does not preferentially occur in start regions of active genes.
“Lentiviral vectors are considered safer than gamma-retroviral vectors in terms of their semi-random integration patterns, as gene integration does not preferentially occur in start regions of active genes (93-95).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
