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.
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?

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.
Difference between gene therapy and protein therapy?

How does gene therapy effect children?

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
