Gene Therapy

Molecular classification
Not applicable
01

Overview

Gene therapy is a medical technique that aims to treat or prevent disease by modifying a person's genetic material. This can involve replacing, inactivating, or introducing genes within an individual's cells to correct underlying genetic problems or provide new functions. The approach targets the root cause of diseases at the DNA level rather than just managing symptoms.
