In Jesse's study, all 18 participants had the same disease: ornithine transcarbamoylase (OTC) deficiency, which slows the liver's ability to metabolize nitrogen and releases deadly ammonia into the bloodstream. So Wilson's team harnessed the adenovirus (a cause of the common cold), neutralized harmful elements and used the virus to send in normal copies of the gene that was defective in Jesse...
