Bone marrow transplantation.
The lymphocytes are not immortal, but have a life span; hence with the formation of new lymphocytes, every time, the enzyme has to be injected.
It is caused due to deletion of the gene coding for the enzyme, adenosine deaminase.

Proinsulin contains an additional polypeptide chain called C-peptide. In the functional insulin, C-peptide is absent, as it is removed during proces...
They are linked together by creating disulphide bonds.
The C-peptide joins the A-peptide with B-peptide in the proinsulin; it is removed during the processing of proinsulin into insulin.
The C-peptide is removed. The peptides A and B are joined by disulphide bridges.
