gene therapy is when a faulty gene is repaired or replaced
at the gene level gene therapy is done and at the the protein level protein therapy is done

Gene therapy effects children by helping to cure disease and to lengthen lives. Gene therapy can also be used to eliminate diseases that are inherited.
The main goal of the Genetherapy is to correct the defective genes. There are 4 types of gene therapy .they are1. Somatic Gene therapy and another is 2.Germ line gene therapy 3.Enhancement genetic engineering4. Eugenic genetic engineering.
Gene therapy is a method that aims to cure inherited diseases by providing the patient with correct copy of the defective gene. There are four potential approaches to gene therapy:1)Addition of normal gene to replace the function of defective gene. This is gene replacement orgene augmentation therapy.2)Replacing the defective gene with the correct gene. This isCorrective gene therapy.3)Establishment of alternative pathways that bypass mutant genes function4)Change in regulation of normal or mutant genesThe first two are the basic approaches in gene therapy
