The human engineered chromosome (HEC) technology represents a potentially exciting gene delivery system for the correction of human genetic disorders. However, for the full potential of HECs as chromosome-based gene delivery vectors to be realised, a number of key obstacles must be overcome. Five essential milestones must be satisfied before clinical studies can commence. These milestones are: to be able to clearly demonstrate (1) production of stable and fully characterisable HECs; (2) insertion and proper expression of desired genes on HECs; (3) purification of
