What is Gene Therapy

Gene therapy is a medical treatment that changes or fixes a person's genes to treat or prevent diseases. It involves modifying specific genes in a patient's cells. This can be done by replacing, repairing, or disabling genes. Gene therapy holds great potential for treating genetic disorders and some acquired diseases, like certain cancers. It aims to correct faulty genes, ultimately improving a person's health. While gene therapy is still developing, it offers promising prospects for revolutionizing the treatment of various medical conditions by addressing their genetic causes directly.
