| gene therapy |
set of therapeutic approaches involving the transfer of genetic information to cells, tissues or organs of a patient, in order to overcome a genetic default or to provide a protective or corrective function. A normal gene may be inserted within the genome to replace a nonfunctional gene. This is the most common approach at present. An abnormal gene could be swapped for a normal gene or corrected in situ. The regulation of expression of a particular gene could be altered.
