Expert Answer

Bone marrow transplantation can be treated as a permanent cure for SCID. The bone marrow cells or stem cells are administered through an IV.

But to carry out the bone marrow transplantation, a matching donor is required which may be difficult. So, for these patients gene therapy can be the option but again this is not permanent in serious cases.
