Vedclass · Answer

(A) The correct answer is Adenosine deaminase.$SCID$ is caused by a defect in the gene that codes for the enzyme adenosine deaminase $(ADA)$.This enzyme is crucial for the proper functioning of the immune system.In some children,$ADA$ deficiency can be cured by bone marrow transplantation.In others,it can be treated by enzyme replacement therapy,where functional $ADA$ is administered to the patient via injection.However,these treatments are not permanent cures.For a permanent cure,gene therapy involving the introduction of functional genes into the patient's cells at an early embryonic stage is considered the most viable approach.
