The father of the little girl, in Samla, told Radio Alam:
Last Thursday, Basmala received a needle for genetic modification and is undergoing close medical follow-up for 14 days at the Qatar Hospital, to ensure the stability of the treatment and avoid infection.
_ Basmala's genetic change has been completed and the disease no longer exists in her. Doctors are waiting for the effects of protein deficiency in recent times.
_ Doctors say 80% of those who received the needle had normal protein production.
_ We hope that the nerve endings will not be damaged, as there is no medical treatment for them.
The stage after the genetic modification is complex, and in the next stage the doctors will take over the vital functions (breathing and swallowing) and monitor the reaction.
_ We hope there is no damage to the nervous system.
