Lentiviral Gene Therapy for Cerebral Adrenoleukodystrophy

Abstract

At a median follow-up of 6 years after lentiviral gene therapy, most patients with early cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy and MRI abnormalities had no major functional disabilities. However, insertional oncogenesis is an ongoing risk associated with the integration of viral vectors.
