American doctors for the first time cured an unborn child from a deadly genetic disease. Doctors at the University of California, San Francisco have for the first time cured an unborn baby of a rare genetic disease that can cause babies to die shortly after birth. The healed girl was born on time, now she is 16 months old. The little patient's name is Ayla Bashir. While still in the womb, she was diagnosed with Pompe disease. Because of it, muscle and nerve cells are damaged - the skin and mucous membranes become cyanotic, tongue hypertrophy, edema, tachycardia, and suffocation develop. Most children die in the first two years of life. To cure Ayla, doctors administered enzyme replacement therapy in utero during her mother's pregnancy. The woman and the fetus underwent six procedures. Now Ayla's therapy continues. The girl feels well and develops without deviations.
