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).
Is cystic fibrosis a candidate good for gene therapy?
Yes, cystic fibrosis is a candidate for gene therapy. Gene therapy offers the potential to correct the underlying genetic cause of the disease, which is a mutation in the CFTR gene. While there have been some promising developments in gene therapy for cystic fibrosis, further research and clinical trials are needed to fully assess its effectiveness.
A technique that involves putting a healthy copy of a gene into cells that have a defective copy of the same gene?
Gene therapy involves inserting a healthy copy of a gene into cells that have a defective copy. This can potentially correct the genetic mutation causing the disease and restore normal cell function. The goal is to treat or prevent genetic disorders by replacing or supplementing missing or defective genes.
What is a description of how gene therapy works?
Gene therapy is designed to introduce genetic material into cells to compensate for abnormal genes or to make a beneficial protein.
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
What uses viruses to help people with genetic disorders?
Gene therapy is designed to introduce genetic material into cells to compensate for abnormal genes, or to make a beneficial protein. If a mutated gene causes a necessary protein to be faulty or missing, gene therapy may be able to introduce a normal copy of the gene, restoring the function of the protein. Viruses are used in gene therapy as vectors that are genetically engineered to deliver the new copy of the gene by infecting the cell.
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?

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.
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
What is the Catholic Church's view on gene therapy?
not so positive, but it does depend on what kind of gene therapy and for what purpose
Gene therapy has shown promise in controlling?
Gene therapy is shown promise in controlling Cystic Fibrosis.
What is cosmetic gene therapy?
Cosmetic gene therapy is a branch of medicine that deals with the maintenance and cure of the body disease.
