Gene therapy (also called human gene transfer) is a medical field which focuses on the utilization of the therapeutic delivery of nucleic acids into a patient's cells as a drug to treat disease. We recommend that commenters identify themselves with full names and affiliations. Gene therapy methodologies incorporate technologies to remove the part of the genetic sequence responsible for the hereditary disease and replace it with a healthy gene (Annualmeeting.asgct.org, 2018). 0000025241 00000 n

The biology of human gene therapy is very complex, and there are many techniques that still need to be developed and diseases that need to be understood more fully before gene therapy can be used appropriately. Set alert. 0000021989 00000 n
Over the past ten years, gene therapy has been moving quickly from the laboratory to the clinic. Gene therapy is a technique that uses genetic material (a piece of DNA) for the long-term treatment of genetic disorders.1,2 This may involve delivering a copy of a healthy or therapeutic gene, repairing a faulty gene, and/or altering the degree to from the body) which a gene is turned ‘on’ and ‘off’.
