half of all such cas , Wingard
said.
Seye had already uffered a
mild troke and was at high ri k
for more strok . In the bone
marrow replacement, hi faulty
gene was replaced with a nor
mal gene, Eckman said. "There
is only the remot t possibility
that the recipient's own bone
marrow might grow back," he
added. Researchers are hoping
that with the dawn of gene ther
apy, it will be possible to corr�
a child's faulty gene without
ha ving to find a donor with
matching bone marrow. Doctors
someday may b ab Ie to remove
a patient's own marrow, insert
a normal gene and put the mar
row back, a treatment that
would be applicable to a much
larger percentage of the pa
tients.
"That's at least a decade
away," Eckman said.
