Gene therapy is designed to introduce genetic material into cells to compensate for abnormal genes or to make a beneficial protein.
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.
at the gene level gene therapy is done and at the the protein level protein therapy is done
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.
With the help of Gene therapy we can replace or supress the cancer gene
in 1989 us approve gene therapy exprement on human
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 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
not so positive, but it does depend on what kind of gene therapy and for what purpose
Gene therapy is shown promise in controlling Cystic Fibrosis.
Cosmetic gene therapy is a branch of medicine that deals with the maintenance and cure of the body disease.

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.
