Gene correction in hematopoietic stem cells could be a powerful way to treat monogenic diseases of the blood and immune system. Here the authors develop a strategy using CRISPR-Cas9 and an aAdeno-Associated vVirus(AAV)-delivered IL2RG cDNA to correct X-linked sSevere Ccombined iImmunodeficiency (SCID-X1) with a high success rate.
