Gene therapy

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Gene therapy is a therapy or treatment of a gene, which has been mutated. It is a therapy to correct the damage. A genetic disorder is expressed, when a particular gene is mutated. The mutant gene, as it is known, encodes a different polypeptide other than a normal. This polypeptide is the root cause of the expression of symptoms of a genetic disorder.
Attempts have been made to rectify or replace the mutant gens, so that they express normally. This replacement process is called gene therapy.
