Hemophilia B Gene Therapy Breakthrough
There has been a new breakthrough recently involving the curing of Hemophilia B in several people. The patients had a virus with the correct genes in it injected into their veins, where the virus went quickly on to the liver. This has worked where other similar treatments failed because of the strength of the virus and the new way of administering the cure. In just a few years more it is predicted that there will be a full cure for Hemophilia B for everyone that suffers from it.
