Abstract
Mutations causing X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID-X1) reduce immune cell populations and function and may be amenable to targeted gene correction strategies. Now in Cell Stem Cell, Menon et al. (2015) correct SCID-X1-related blood differentiation defects by TALEN-mediated genome editing in patient-derived iPSCs, suggesting a possible strategy for autologous cell therapy of SCID-X1.
