http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/07/100713171559.htm .   Hello I found this article today, Is this the news we all have been waiting for??

"Italian scientists pioneering a new gene transfer treatment for the blood disorder β-thalassemia have successfully completed preclinical trials, claiming they can correct the lack of beta-globin (ß-globin) in patients' blood cells which causes the disease. The research, published in EMBO Molecular Medicine, reveals how gene therapy may represent a safe alternative to current cures that are limited to a minority of patients."
