GeneTherapy

Gene therapy is a medical technique that treats or prevents disease by altering a person’s genes. It can work by replacing defective genes with healthy ones, inactivating genes causing problems, or adding new genes to help fight illness. This approach aims to address the root cause of genetic disorders rather than just managing symptoms. Gene therapy is used for various conditions, including some inherited diseases, certain types of cancer, and genetic immune disorders. While still evolving, it holds promise for providing more targeted, long-lasting treatments with fewer side effects compared to traditional therapies.
