What else can I help you with?
Inserting working copies of a gene directly into the cells of a person with a genetic disorder is called what?
That process is called gene therapy. It involves inserting functional copies of a gene into the cells of a person with a genetic disorder to correct the genetic mutation causing the disorder.
How gene therapy might be used to treat cytic fibrosis?
Gene therapy for cystic fibrosis involves delivering a functional copy of the CFTR gene to affected cells in order to restore normal function of the protein. This can be achieved by using viral vectors to deliver the gene into the cells and allow it to produce normal CFTR protein. By correcting the underlying genetic defect, gene therapy holds promise for treating cystic fibrosis at the molecular level.
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.
Why is gene therapy successful?
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.
Can you give a sentence using the word gene therapy?
building muscle and increase stamina through gene therapy
What is the name for replacement of a defective gene with a healthy one?
gene therapy
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
Inserting working copies of a gene directly into the cells of a person with a genetic disorder is called what?
That process is called gene therapy. It involves inserting functional copies of a gene into the cells of a person with a genetic disorder to correct the genetic mutation causing the disorder.
How could gene therapy be used to treat cancer?
With the help of Gene therapy we can replace or supress the cancer gene
When was gene therapy on allowed?
in 1989 us approve gene therapy exprement on human
What is one goal of gene therapy?
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.
What will be the likely benefits or risks involved in gene therapy?
no one knows and no one cares
How does gene therapy effect children?
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.
What is one obstacle gene therapy faces?
Gene therapy is considered as a risky business as it has a chance of promoting cancer if the inserted DNA placed in a wrong place (locus). Gene therapy is aimed to cure genetic diseases by inserting DNA or gene as a drug in the tissue or cells. Viral vectors are the vehicles used for this purpose.
How do gene splicing and gene therapy difffer?
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.
Researchers hope to one day use gene therapy to?
Researchers hope that one day gene therapy can be used to cure epidemics like diabetes, cancer, obesity and a range of cardiac disorders D
How is genetic therapy used to treat genetic disorders?
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
