Detailed explanation-1: -Gene therapies can work by several mechanisms: Replacing a disease-causing gene with a healthy copy of the gene. Inactivating a disease-causing gene that is not functioning properly. Introducing a new or modified gene into the body to help treat a disease.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gene therapy is used to correct defective genes in order to cure a disease or help the body better fight disease. It’s the introduction, removal or change in genetic material-specifically DNA or RNA-into the cells of a patient with the aim to restore normal function, to treat a specific disease.
Detailed explanation-3: -Gene therapy is a technique for correcting a defective gene through gene manipulation. It involves the delivery of a normal gene into the individual to replace the defective gene, for example, the introduction of gene for adenosine deaminase (ADA) in ADA deficient individual.
