What use of viruses to help people with genetic disorders?
Viruses can be used as vectors to deliver therapeutic genes into cells affected by genetic disorders. This is done through a process called gene therapy, where the virus is modified to carry the correct version of the faulty gene and help correct the genetic defect. By doing so, viruses can potentially treat genetic disorders by replacing or repairing the defective gene responsible for the disorder.
