Chromosome Therapy

Chromosome therapy involves adjusting or correcting genetic material within chromosomes, the structures that carry our DNA, to treat certain genetic disorders or health conditions. Since chromosomes contain the instructions for our body’s development and functions, modifying them can potentially address the root cause of some diseases. This approach might include techniques like gene editing or replacement to fix mutations, remove faulty genes, or add beneficial ones. While still largely experimental, chromosome therapy aims to provide targeted, personalized treatments that could improve health outcomes by directly modifying our genetic blueprint.
