Extractions: Skip to Content Keyword Much of today's cancer research is devoted to finding missing or defective genes that cause cancer or increase an individual's risk for certain types of cancer. Gene research at MD Anderson has resulted in many important discoveries. We identified the mutated multiple advanced cancers gene (MMAC1) involved in some common cancers. We also performed the first successful correction of a defective tumor suppressor gene (p53) in human lung cancer. Current gene therapies are experimental, and many are still tested only on animals. There are some clinical trials involving a very small number of human subjects. The potential benefits of gene therapy are two-fold: The focus of most gene therapy research is the replacement of a missing or defective gene with a functional, healthy copy, which is delivered to target cells with a "vector." Viruses are commonly used as vectors because of their ability to penetrate a cell’s DNA. These vector viruses are inactivated so they cannot reproduce and cause disease. Gene transfer therapy can be done outside the body (ex vivo) by extracting bone marrow or blood from the patient and growing the cells in a laboratory. The corrected copy of the gene is introduced and allowed to penetrate the cells’ DNA before being injected back into the body. Gene transfers can also be done directly inside the patient’s body (in vivo).

Jesse Gelsinger - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
Jesse Gelsinger (June 18, 1981 September 17, 1999) was the first person publicly identified as having died in a clinical trial for gene therapy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Gelsinger

Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Jesse Gelsinger (June 18, 1981 - September 17, 1999) was the first person publicly identified as having died in a clinical trial for gene therapy . He was 18 years old. Gelsinger suffered from ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency , an X-linked genetic disease of the liver , the symptoms of which include an inability to metabolize ammonia - a byproduct of protein breakdown. The disease is usually fatal at birth, but Gelsinger had not inherited the disease; in his case it was the result of a genetic mutation and as such was not as severe - some of his cells were normal which enabled him to survive on a restricted diet and special medications. Gelsinger joined a clinical trial run by the University of Pennsylvania that aimed at developing a treatment for infants born with severe disease. On Monday, September 13 1999, Gelsinger was injected with an adenoviral vector carrying a corrected gene to test the safety of the procedure. He died four days later, apparently having suffered a massive immune response triggered by the use of the viral vector used to transport the gene into his cells. This led to multiple organ failure and brain death. Gelsinger died on Friday, September 17th at 2:30 PM. A Food and Drug Administration (FDA) investigation concluded that the scientists involved in the trial, including the lead researcher Dr. James M. Wilson (U Penn), broke several rules of conduct:

Gene therapy may be a way to overcome these changes in order to treat or even prevent cancer. Although it holds great hope for the future, for now, gene therapy is limited by our technical abilities. It will probably be years before gene therapy is available to cancer patients other than in research studies. What is a gene?

Regulations Gene Therapy is the transfer of genetic material (gene transfer) to dysfunctional cells to correct a deficiency in the DNA or genome of a patient. Also, gene therapy can be applied to diseases acquired over the lifetime of an individual, such as cancer or infection, to confer a specific property to the cell allowing it to combat the disease. Cell Therapy , such as stem cell therapy, can also be used to achieve these goals.

The new company aims to focus its activities in the area of synthetic mammalian biology and has acquired a number of patent applications that arose out of inventions by its founder and managing director; Dr Michael Leslie Roberts. Synpromics’ technology will centre on the development of synthetic promoters for application as research, diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Synthetic promoters are relative short segments of man-made DNA that can specifically control the activity of any gene of interest. Synpromics has developed a method whereby the activity of the gene can be controlled depending on its environment.
