How do i know when will gene therapy become a reality for orphan diseases (single gene disorders)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Glybera: The first gene therapy has now been approved in europe for an orphan disease. Several hundred therapies are currently in human clinical trials. So, i would say gene therapy is now a reality and the next 5 years will see a number of therapies approved.
