Gene Therapy - Putting therapeutic genes into cells

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The gene therapy is the therapeutic use of genes aimed to replace a faulty gene, in order to treat those diseases caused by gene defects such as cancer, Leber's congenital amaurosis, Parkinson's disease, ADA deficiency etc. The gene therapy technique involves the transfer of a gene aided in many cases by virus s ability to bind to their hosts, into the nucleus of an altered cell, leading to its treatment, thanks to the production of new therapeutic protein that will repair the defective allele. Learn more about the gene therapy, its approach and methods in this book.
