In this episode of Rare on Air, host Julien Poulain delves back into the world of gene therapies, chatting with Khadidja Hadri, a French mother whose nine-year-old son grapples with the rare genetic disorder ADA-SCID, and Stefano Benvenuti, Public Affairs Manager at the Fondazione Telethon in Italy.
Khadidja candidly shares how a groundbreaking gene therapy transformed her son’s health, significantly altering the trajectory of their lives.
Stefano provides insights into the workings of gene therapies, detailing the one administered to Khadidja's son, and also discusses his perspectives on proposed EU reforms to boost incentives for rare disease medicine development.
