Adenosine deaminase enzyme is very important for the immune system to function. In the absence of adenosine deaminase enzyme, purine metabolism is disturbed and $T-$lymphocytes fails to function. $ADA$ deficiency can lead to Severe combiuned Immune Deficiency $(SCID)$
$SCID$ is caused due to defect in the genes for the enzyme adenosine deaminase. The genetic diseases that are being investigated for gene therapy ranges from sickle-cell anaemia to Severe Combined Immuno Deficiency $(SCID)$. In some children, $ADA$ deficiency can be cured by bone marrow transplantation
However, in others it can be treated by the enzyme replacement therapy, in which functional $ADA$ is given to the patient by injection. But in both approaches, the patients are not completely cured. For permanent cure, gene isolated from the bone marrow cells producing $ADA$ at early embryonic stage can be a possible cure
