In utero stem cell transplantation offers the potential for treating a number of genetic disorders. The combination of fetal immunotolerance and fetal marrow space makes the fetus an excellent transplant recipient. Experiments on the mouse, sheep and rhesus monkey have indicated that in utero transplantation is feasible. Human trials are currently beginning.
