Abstract
Gene therapy is essentially the use of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to cure disease, where DNA is the chemical substance of heredity that makes up the genes in humans and almost all other organisms.
Gene therapy involves a treatment through which copies of a normal gene (also called a therapeutic gene) are inserted into a person’s somatic cells to fight the disease caused by faulty gene present since birth. The normal copies will be expressed, thus overriding the faulty ones to fight the disease.
