Mr.Brown underwent a Hematopoietic Stem Cell transplantation after suffering for 12 Years. A Team of Germany Doctors performed two Stem Cell Transplants using a Homozygous Individual having two genetic copies. The genes (CCR5-delta 32) of the donor were HIV resistant and the mutation was transferred to Timothy Ray Brown. As per statistics, Such Mutation could be found in very less population.
