Is there any risk? Like if it fails, nothing will happen to the patient right unlike BMT?

Andy , sharmin,
is thereul any report of successful gene therapy?

Andy Battaglia:
The latest email from Pat G that came a couple days ago said that two patients have been accepted for the trial and the first will be dosed in December. Results will be known after 40 days.
Patients in the US: Patients are still being accepted for trials. If this works as expected, patients will be cured.

Thanks Andy, This is good news.
It is my understanding that total 10 patients are to be recruited at inital stage (Phase 1).
Andy Battaglia:
They definitely want more patients, but things were slowed by some misinformation that was put out by one of the doctors who is no longer allowed to speak publicly about the trial. Hopefully, we will see more patients apply.
