Gene Therapy

Gene therapy employs genetics to prevent or treat any illness. In the future  this method might enable medical professionals to treat a condition without the need for medication or surgery by introducing a gene into the patient's cells. The researchers are now testing a number of gene therapy strategies, such as inactivating a mutant gene that isn't working correctly substituting a healthy copy of the gene for the faulty gene that causes the disease putting a new gene into the body to aid in the treatment of a sickness.
