There are several approaches. The most common one is to insert a normal gene to replace the non-functional gene. Another approach is to swap a non-functional

    A gene is a long sequence of nucleotides on a DNA molecule. A mutation is a change in the amount of an organism’s genetic material and when a change in genotype produces a change in phenotype‚ the individual affected is said to be a mutant. A gene mutation involves a change in one or more of the nucleotides in a strand of DNA. The sequence of nucleotides in a gene controls the order in which amino acids are made into a protein‚ therefore if the sequence of nucleotides in a gene is altered by a mutation

    WHAT IS GENE THERAPY? Gene therapy is the transfer of recombinant DNA into an individual’s body cells‚ with the intent to correct a genetic defect or treat a disease. The transfer occurs by the way of lipid clusters or genetically engineered viruses‚ inserts an unmutated gene into an individual’s chromosomes. It is basically a method for fixing defective genes that cause diseases. As Starr‚ Evers & Starr (2013) stated‚ there are over 15‚000 serious genetic disorders in the world. Most of
