GENE THERAPY

Domain	Definition
Health	The introduction of new genes into cells for the purpose of treating disease by restoring or adding gene expression. Techniques include insertion of retroviral vectors, transfection, homologous recombination, and injection of new genes into the nuclei of single cell embryos. The entire gene therapy process may consist of multiple steps. The new genes may be introduced into proliferating cells in vivo (e.g., bone marrow) or in vitro (e.g., fibroblast cultures) and the modified cells transferred to the site where the gene expression is required. Gene therapy may be particularly useful for treating enzyme deficiency diseases, hemoglobinopathies, and leukemias and may also prove useful in restoring drug sensitivity, particularly for leukemia.

Medicine	A technique adopted to overcome genetically linked disorders or disease. Where such disorders are known to be associated with a simple incorrect base sequence in a gene, or the failure to produce a certain polypeptide, it may be possible to use gene manipulation techniques to correct this defect. This can be done by micromanipulation of ova or of embryos at an early stage of development. Source: European Union. (references)
