Gene therapy, the transfer of genes to patient cells, shows promise for treating genetic diseases, cancer, and infections. Clinical trials are advancing, with many using viruses for gene delivery.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Cell Biology
  • Genetics

Context:

  • Gene therapy involves the therapeutic transfer of genes into a patient's cells.
  • It holds potential for treating genetic diseases, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and infectious diseases.
  • Clinical trials for human gene therapy have been approved, with viral vectors commonly used for gene delivery.

Purpose:

  • To review the scientific basis of gene therapy.
  • To discuss clinical applications of somatic gene therapy.
  • To highlight the potential of gene therapy in treating various diseases.

Summary:

  • Gene therapy aims to treat diseases by introducing functional genes into cells.
  • For genetic disorders, this means replacing defective genes.
