Bits of viral genes incorporated into human DNA have been linked to cancer, ALS and schizophrenia. But many of these genes may not be harmful, and could even protect against infectious disease.

Meanwhile, researchers had deciphered the molecular mechanisms of other SCID conditions, including SCID-X1 (which accounts for 40 to 50% of all cases). This disease is characterized by faulty ...
