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.
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
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.
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 gene therapy is 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
How could gene therapy be used to treat cancer?
With the help of Gene therapy we can replace or supress the cancer gene

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 does the gene therapy work?
Precisely, gene therapy is applied under two strategies; 1. Therapeutic gene strategy 2. Gene therapy for replacing a mutated gene Therapeutic gene strategy involves the insertion/administration of DNA that encodes a therapeutic protein packaged within a "vector", into the body. Inside the body, the DNA becomes expressed by the cell machinery, resulting in the production of therapeutic protein, which in turn treats the patient's disease. Gene therapy for replacing a mutated gene involves the insertion of a functional gene (cloned into a vector) and administered into the body, where the functional gene express to neutralize the mutational effect.
