Detailed explanation-1: -Gene therapy involves the transfer of correct copies of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) DNA to the epithelial cells in the airways.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gene therapy for Parkinson’s disease A gene for GAD was introduced into the subthalamic nucleus in the brains of patients with PD. The goal was to increase the presence of GABA in that brain area, thereby helping to reset the abnormal circuitry of the Parkinson’s brain.
Detailed explanation-3: -“BDNF gene therapy has the potential, unlike other AD therapies currently under development, to rebuild brain circuits, slow cell loss and stimulate cell function.
Detailed explanation-4: -A gene targeted therapy for ALS could potentially fix the genetic mutations that are causing the disease. But most gene targeted therapies for ALS in development today do not target DNA directly.
