    Area of Science:

    • Biotechnology
    • Molecular Biology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Gene therapy aims to treat genetic disorders by introducing new genes into cells.
    • Several methods exist for gene delivery, each with unique advantages and challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review key gene delivery techniques for gene therapy.
    • To highlight the potential of bone marrow as a target for treating genetic diseases.
    • To assess the feasibility of gene transfer in human patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of gene delivery techniques including transfection, homologous recombination, pronuclear injection, and retroviral vectors.
    • Focus on bone marrow as a target due to accessible stem cells.
    • Clinical application in two thalassemia major patients.

    Main Results:

    • Transfection and retroviral vectors are prominent gene delivery methods.
    • Bone marrow stem cells can be modified and returned to hematopoietic sites.
    • Initial experiments demonstrate feasibility of gene transfer in human patients with thalassemia major.

    Conclusions:

    • Retroviral vectors show promise for gene therapy, but safety and expression levels require further research.
    • Bone marrow is a viable target for gene therapy of genetic diseases.
    • Gene transfer into human bone marrow cells is feasible and may offer therapeutic benefits.
