Experimental Treatment
Group I: TreatmentExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants will undergo a bone marrow harvest in the operating room to obtain bone marrow cells. Cells will be isolated and purified utilizing the CliniMacs device. These cells will undergo vector transduction with the lentiviral vector that contains a normal copy of the γc gene gene (CL20-i4-EF1α-hγc-OPT) and then the transduced cells will be reinfused back into the patient. Participants will receive a conditioning regimen of busulfan 3 days prior and 2 days prior to infusion of vector-corrected cells.intervention: CL20-i4-EF1α-hγc-OPT
