In 2014, a further 18 children with ADA-SCID were cured by gene therapy. [222] ADA-SCID children have no functioning immune system and are sometimes known as "bubble children". [24] Also in October researchers reported that they had treated six people with haemophilia in early 2011 using an adeno-associated virus.
With the discovery of various types of immune-related disorders, there is a need for diversification in prevention and treatment. Developments in the field of gene therapy are being studied to be included in the scope of this treatment, but of course more research is needed to increase the positive results and minimize the negative effects of gene therapy applications.

Experimental gene therapy trial results, published in 2002, used a healthy gene to take over for the defective one that causes Canavan disease. [12] In human trials, the results of which were published in 2012, this method appeared to improve the life of the patient without long-term adverse effects during a five-year follow-up.
