Gene therapy offers a new approach to treating genetic diseases by directly targeting mutant genes. This innovative molecular genetics technique shows promise for various conditions, including bone marrow disorders, liver diseases, and certain cancers.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular genetics
  • Medical genetics
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Current treatments for human genetic diseases are often insufficient.
  • There is a significant need for novel and effective therapeutic strategies.
  • Molecular genetics provides new tools for directly addressing the genetic basis of diseases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the potential of gene therapy as a novel treatment modality for genetic disorders.
  • To highlight the feasibility and acceptance of gene therapy in the scientific and medical communities.
  • To discuss the application of gene transfer techniques for correcting disease phenotypes.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing gene transfer with recombinant pathogenic viruses.
  • Introducing new genetic information to alter mutant target genes.
