Popis: Gene therapy for ADA deficiency has been a model disease in which to evaluate hematopoietic stem cells for clinical gene therapy [1]. ADA deficiency has been a candidate disease because 1. ADA is a single polypeptide protein, 2. a clinically normal phenotype is associated with a wide range of enzymatic function (5–500% of normal), and 3. ADA is widely expressed so that tissue specific expression is not required.
