Because scientists want to see what they can do to help people in need of medical attention because of the hereditary diseases they may have. Gene therapy also has the potential to provide permanent cures for diseases as opposed to temporary alleviations of the symptoms or deficiencies.
What else can I help you with?
When was gene therapy on allowed?
in 1989 us approve gene therapy exprement on human
What gene therapy agents are being tested?
both nucleic acid based (in vivo ) treatments and cell-based (ex vivo ) treatments are being investigated. Nucleic acid based gene therapy uses vectors (like viruses) to deliver modified genes to target cells
Transferring normal human genes into human cells that lack them is called?

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.
What is gene therapy Explain?
If a person is lacking a gene that causes a disorder, for example Diabetes, and a gene can be inserted into cells that require the gene, this would be gene therapy. Parkinson's disease and X-linked SCID are two that are be researched.
What gene is being researched for its possible connection to Marfan syndrome?
Researchers in molecular biology are currently investigating the FBNI gene.
Explain what human gene therapy is?
If a person is lacking a gene that causes a disorder, for example diabetes, and a gene can be inserted into cells that require the gene, this would be gene therapy. Parkinson's disease and X-linked SCID are two that are be researched.
What is Gene therapy being performed on patients suffering from?
Genetic Disorders
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 are the potential treatment options for myotubular myopathy?
Potential treatment options for myotubular myopathy may include physical therapy, respiratory support, and medications to manage symptoms. Gene therapy and other experimental treatments are also being researched. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized treatment recommendations.
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?
in 1989 us approve gene therapy exprement on human
Where does one go to get gene therapy?
Gene therapy is an experimental treatment in which genetic material is introduced into a person's cells to cure disease. Because it is still experimental it is being done at research hospitals.
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
