Gene therapy involves inserting functional genes into human cells to treat genetic disorders and diseases like cancer. While promising, technical challenges and ethical considerations remain for widespread application.

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Gene therapy offers a novel approach to treating genetic disorders, cancer, and other diseases.
  • It involves introducing functional genes into human cells to correct genetic errors or impart new functions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss current concepts in gene transfer and its applications.
  • To explore the potential of gene therapy in medicine and the role of pharmacists.

Main Methods:

  • Gene insertion techniques, including retroviral vectors, for ex vivo and in vivo applications.
  • Focus on somatic cell gene transfer, avoiding germline modification.

Main Results:

  • Over 40 clinical trials approved with more than 110 patients enrolled.
