Stargardt's disease
The protein that the gene codes for changes or may even cease to be produced, depending on the change to the gene.
Identifying the faulty Gene. Identifying the faulty Gene that causes the disease.
Once the probe DNA is inserted into a patient's genome, it will integrate with the host cell's DNA. The inserted DNA can potentially correct genetic mutations or provide therapeutic benefits by producing the desired protein. Monitoring the patient for any adverse effects or changes in gene expression is crucial post-insertion.
acts as a transcription factor and binds to DNA, activating a gene
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.
A null allele is a mutant copy of gene that completely lacks that gene's normal function. This can be the result of the complete absence of the gene product (protein, RNA) at the molecular level, or the expression of a non-functional gene product. At the Phenotypic level, a null allele is indistinguishable from a deletion of the entire locus.
Gene feels jealousy towards Finny because he admires his athletic abilities and popularity, which Gene lacks. This jealousy leads Gene to sabotage Finny, ultimately causing a rift in their friendship.
The protein that the gene codes for changes or may even cease to be produced, depending on the change to the gene.
involves introducing a gene with an anticancer protein called tumor necrosis factor (TNF) into test tube samples of the patient's own cancer cells, which are then reintroduced into the patient.
Nothing "happens" to it. When a gene is not actively being copied or expressed it is folded up and stored till it is needed again.
Gene therapy can be administered using viral vectors, which are genetically modified viruses that are used to deliver therapeutic genes into the patient's cells. These vectors can be injected directly into the target tissue or administered intravenously to reach various organs in the body. Another approach is ex vivo gene therapy, where cells are removed from the patient, genetically modified, and then infused back into the patient.
Gene therapy is technique to treat a genetic disorder or cancer by inserting a gene to replace the defective one.It is now not widely in practice but this may be the future. The benefit is the patient can successfully attain the healthy gene and can be cured permanently.

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
