gene therapy in broad sense is done in order to correct any congenital disease. for this purpose cells which are able to multiply the required gene like immortal cells or stem cells are used . Process called HYBRIDOMA
TECHNIQUE is done. As soon as the product is obtained entrapped within the so called human stem cells ,they are introduced into the patient"s body ( bone marrow).The defected cells are not removed but the correct cells are introduced in embryonic stage or at a very young age of a person so that as the child grows so does the number of correct cells and thus produce the desired result. as the whole process takes place in animal cell only and also for the cure of animal body only therefore it is necessary to take animal or human cell and not a bacterial cell
Viral vectors are the tools used in gene therapy.
Gene therapy is a method of treatment. It is specifically used to treat patients who are suffering from diseases due to defective genes. Essentially, the treatment involves researchers replacing the defective or faulty genes with a normal functioning gene. It involves: 1) Detection of gene 2)Determination & its role 3)Isolation & cloning 4)Introducing the gene by proper way. This is either germline gene therapy (done in germ cells) or somatic gene therapy (done in somatic cells).
A. Gene therapy
gene therapy.
in 1989 us approve gene therapy exprement on human
Viral vectors are the tools used in gene therapy.
With the help of Gene therapy we can replace or supress the cancer gene
In cystic fibrosis there is an inherited gene that you have that is causing it, so if gene therapy is used, you can replace the gene with the effected one
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.

Gene TherapyGenetic disorders are caused by an abnormality in person's DNA.
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 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
Genetic diseases, such as hemophilia.
