Abstract
Gene therapy is one of the most advanced ways in threatening the most untreatable diseases and its simply when DNA is introduced into a patient to treat a genetic disease. The new DNA usually contains a functioning gene to correct the effects of a disease-causing mutation. Sometimes the whole or part of a gene is defective or missing from birth or a gene can change or mutate during adult life. Any of these variations can disrupt how proteins are made, which can contribute to health problems or diseases. In this presentation we will illustrate the basics of gene therapy and the most recent approved gene therapy products.
