Gene Therapy & Neoplastic Disorders | Human Genetics

Let us make an in-depth study of the gene therapy principles for neoplastic disorders and infectious diseases. Cancer Gene Therapies: Many different approaches can be used for cancer gene therapy (see Culver and Blaese, 1994 and Table 23.6) and, in marked contrast to the few gene therapy trials for inherited dis­orders, numerous cancer gene therapy trials are currently being conducted [...]

Different Strategies for Gene Therapy | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the different strategies foe gene therapy. The term gene therapy is a broad one: it encompasses many different strategies, all of which are designed to overcome or alleviate disease by a procedure in which genes, gene segments or oligonucleotides are introduced into the cells of an affected individual. The genetic material may be [...]

Gene Therapy for Inherited Diseases: A Close Look

The below mentioned article provides a close look on the gene therapy designed for inherited diseases. Different genetic disorders are amenable to varying degrees to treatment by gene thera­py. Common non-Mendelian genetic diseases may involve a complex interplay between different genetic loci and/or environmental fac­tors, and so possible gene therapy approach­es may not be .straightforward. Single gene disorders, where individuals [...]
