Abstract:
The transfer of genetic material to treat a disease or at the very least to improve a patient's clinical condition is commonly referred to as gene therapy. Transforming viruses into genetic shuttles that convey the desired gene to the target cells is one of the fundamental ideas behind gene therapy. Many viral and non-viral vectors have been developed as safe techniques for accomplishing this. Ex vivo and in vivo alteration are the two main strategies that have been developed. Gene transfer protocols have been approved for human use in inherited diseases, cancers and acquired disorders. This review highlights various application, methods of gene therapy.
