Abstract:
Gene therapy is the process of introduction of nucleic acids usually DNA into cells to treat or prevent a medical condition or disease. It is a technique for correction of defective gene responsible for disease development. Gene can now be considered as a pharmaceutical agent for treating disease. The aim of gene therapy is to introduce a functional and expressible gene copy for the genes which are damaged, thereby increasing the availability of genes that can modify the disease or can suppress the activity of damaged genes. Gene therapy is basically of two typesi) somatic cell gene therapy, ii) Germ line gene therapy. The gene which can correct the disease need to be delivered to the target cell inside the body by means of a vehicle, this vehicle is known as vector. Gene editing is another tool which is being studied in the field of gene therapy. Unlike traditional gene therapy, gene editing can precisely correct point variants, disrupt a specific mutant gene and place an extra, healthy gene at a safe genomic location. Gene therapy is one of the most innovative field in biomedical research which has unlock new areas in medicine and has given new approach to deal with genetic diseases.
