it depends on the gene some are so malfunctioned they cant be treated i cant believe none of you could answer this way to go doctors
gene therapy.
in 1989 us approve gene therapy exprement on human
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).

Gene therapy is not always successful. Sometimes when inserting genes into the chromosome, we misplace them, and the original problem is aggravated. Gene therapy can be somewhat effective at reducing symptoms of genetic diseases though.
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.
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
With the help of Gene therapy we can replace or supress the cancer gene

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.
Precisely, gene therapy is applied under two strategies; 1. Therapeutic gene strategy 2. Gene therapy for replacing a mutated gene Therapeutic gene strategy involves the insertion/administration of DNA that encodes a therapeutic protein packaged within a "vector", into the body. Inside the body, the DNA becomes expressed by the cell machinery, resulting in the production of therapeutic protein, which in turn treats the patient's disease. Gene therapy for replacing a mutated gene involves the insertion of a functional gene (cloned into a vector) and administered into the body, where the functional gene express to neutralize the mutational effect.
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.
