Gene therapy usually seeks to replace a defective gene in a cell with the correct one using a vector for delivery, often a virus. The result is the transformed cells will product the correct protein. Protein therapy usually refers to injecting a functional protein into a patient to compensate for its absence.
If a genetic disorder is carried on a recessive gene, offspring will only have the disorder if both parents have the recessive gene.
gene therapy.
in 1989 us approve gene therapy exprement on human
Viral vectors are the tools used in gene therapy.

Gene TherapyGenetic disorders are caused by an abnormality in person's DNA.
The goal of gene therapy is to cure a genetic disorder. Lets a gene is impaired by mutation and causing a disease. We can correct the gene by injecting DNA to the cells that have impaired gene. By this we can find out a permanent cure of that particular disease condition if it works properly.
gene therapy is used for making the dna disease free and to help the dna to take a couple to evolution.
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
If a person is lacking a gene that causes a disorder, for example Diabetes, and a gene can be inserted into cells that require the gene, this would be gene therapy. Parkinson's disease and X-linked SCID are two that are be researched.

Rapid Sequencing. Faster way of DNA sequencing using Computers and cutting down the timeline of the Human genome project. Gene Therapy. The insertion of working copies of a gene into the cells of a person with a genetic disorder in an attempt to correct the disorder.

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 technique to treat a genetic disorder or cancer by inserting a gene to replace the defective one.It is now not widely in practice but this may be the future. The benefit is the patient can successfully attain the healthy gene and can be cured permanently.
