FWIW, this subject is what the latest Bourne Identity movie was about. Lots of knowledge dropped if you watch for it.
By the way, Matt Damon was not in the movie. Not even for a second. Weird.

The other sad part about all this is that large drug companies and research firms are really only focused on a few cases. They dont spend anytime researchiing specific cases like yours, or my son's, who has Cystic Fibrosis. Thankfully the CF Foundation does their own and have made huge strides in the last 10 years. They've isolated the specific protein that causes CF but there are over 1500 different mutations of that protein (CFTR). With only 70,000 people worldwide having CF, its not a very profitable business for the pharm companies.
The future of gene replacement is only going to grow and get better. The things they can do now are amazing. It takes money, and lots of it from idividuals like you and I though. Hang in there!
