We all know the ATA gene was a major step in heliping to understand and more importantly use the ancient technology in Atlantis.
Unfortunately it is not the most effective therapy. I believe it only 48% effective.
Now there is a few hundred people on Atlantis, perhaps about 300 ish.
48% of 300 is about 140.
Anyway there was a thread circling around about why they only had 20 or so people that had the ATA gene ("Adrift").
And I believe Beckett said in "Hide and Seek" something along the lines of its legal in the Pegasus galaxy to do the gene therapy.
AND seeing as how the Atlantis expedition had more connection to Earth in season 2 and onward, they most likely wouldn't be allowed to continue the gene therapy.
