Czech toddler with rare genetic disorder undergoes gene therapy in France

A two-year-old Czech boy with a rare genetic disorder, whose treatment was paid for with public donations of more than 150 million crowns, underwent gene therapy in France on Wednesday. The child's parents announced that the procedure at a hospital in Montpellier had been successful and thanked the doctors for their care and the public for their support. Two-year-old Martin will now spend another two to three weeks in the hospital, before returning to Czechia if everything goes well.
