THE FARIS NEWS, JUNI 29, 1970 IN SEARCH TO CONQUER INHERITED HIS Scientists Eye 'Genetic Engineering By FRANK CAREY AP Science Writer BIRMINGHAM. Ala. (AP) Scientists are studying daring concepts involving "genetic engineering" as part of their quest to conquer such inherited disorders as cystic fibrosis and some of the maladies that can cause mental retardation. Conceding their ideas science researchers attending an unusual conference here this month said developments like these are conceivable some time in the future: A scientist in a hospital laboratory would "feed a certain synthetic chemical to a virus that is relatively harmless to man." Then he would implant the virus inside the womb of a preg- nant woman in such a way that Mongoloid by, specialist on muscular dystrb- en who are unknowing carriers eight-fold compared with non-ir- phy. reported that: jof the defective chromosome radiated the older Recent advances in the use of! that can result in the would then release inside fetal, the woman when irradiated, the; certain enzyme and other tests hene" type of muscular dystro- the virus ultimately would reach the developing embryo.

It cells its chemical cargo consisting of man-made versions of the basic units of heredity which researchers are now trying to develop. In this case, the virus would in effect be an emergency messenger boy carrying gene which pre-natal analysis shows is missing or defective in the unborn abnormality that otherwise would result in the child being born with cystic fibrosis, a dreaded glandular; disease. Using another technique, surgeons would implant tiny glass beads in the womb of a pregnant woman. The hollow beads would be filled with an enzyme chemical trigger for a vital is known to be missing from the developing embryo. Through a tiny opening in the beads, the enzyme would slowly be released into the circulation of the thereby prevent the child from being born with a hereditary metabolic disease known as phenylketonuria 'PKU' for short.

Unless detected and treatment begun soon after birth. PKU can lead to mental retardation. These two conceptual messenger boy viruses and the enzyme-releasing glass described by Dr. John H. Menkes of the University of California Medical Center.

He said the ideas "approach; I science but added that i researchers already are giving! them serious thought.

The conference was designed con-; to acquaint everyday practicing I the latest developments and fa- ture prospects in the relatively new field of medical genetics.
