Because scientists want to see what they can do to help people in need of medical attention because of the hereditary diseases they may have. Gene therapy also has the potential to provide permanent cures for diseases as opposed to temporary alleviations of the symptoms or deficiencies.

A technique that involves putting a healthy copy of a gene into cells that have a defective copy of the same gene?
gene therapy.
What 'tools' are used in gene therapy?
Viral vectors are the tools used in gene therapy.
When was gene therapy on allowed?
in 1989 us approve gene therapy exprement on human
What gene therapy agents are being tested?
both nucleic acid based (in vivo ) treatments and cell-based (ex vivo ) treatments are being investigated. Nucleic acid based gene therapy uses vectors (like viruses) to deliver modified genes to target cells
What is 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).
What is gene therapy Explain?
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.
Explain what human gene therapy is?
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.
What gene is being researched for its possible connection to Marfan syndrome?
Researchers in molecular biology are currently investigating the FBNI gene.
Inserting working copies of a gene directly into the cells of a person with a genetic disorder is called what?
Gene TherapyGenetic disorders are caused by an abnormality in person's DNA.
Why do you need gene therapy?
gene therapy is when a faulty gene is repaired or replaced
What is Gene therapy being performed on patients suffering from?
Genetic Disorders
Difference between gene therapy and protein therapy?
at the gene level gene therapy is done and at the the protein level protein therapy is done
A technique that involves putting a healthy copy of a gene into cells that have a defective copy of the same gene?
gene therapy.
How could gene therapy be used to treat cancer?
With the help of Gene therapy we can replace or supress the cancer gene
Where does one go to get gene therapy?
Gene therapy is an experimental treatment in which genetic material is introduced into a person's cells to cure disease. Because it is still experimental it is being done at research hospitals.
When was gene therapy on allowed?
in 1989 us approve gene therapy exprement on human
What 'tools' are used in gene therapy?
Viral vectors are the tools used in gene therapy.
