Child successfully treated for Hunter Syndrome

In a world first, a boy named Oliver Chu has been successfully treated for Hunter syndrome.  

This work was not part of the MRC CoRE but we celebrate this victory with our colleagues and the patient community.  

The BBC website has an excellent explanation of the technology, which is similar to the approaches taken as part of the MRC CoRE Blood Theme projects.
