I must admit I'm not a very medically literate person - someone please break this down - is this good news or bad news? Were we expecting more people or lesser

  We didn't expect the rate of oncogenesis from off-target gene insertion. It's bad news. At the same time, this is a treatment for a terrible, terrible disease; so far the consequences seem smaller than what cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy would deal out on its own. So it's bad news about something which is probably still a good therapy (but we sure would like a better one).

    Another takeaway, particularly for the HN crowd is that gene therapy both works and still has some major kinks to iron out

  It is bad news for anyone wanting to use gene therapy for treating any non lethal disease.

  People dying of cancer as a consequence of treatment is typically bad news especially all within a few years of treatment.
