Gene therapy

Today I want to talk about the Gene therapy because if this experimental technique made safe will make better our human welfare to something very extraordinary!

I heard about gene therapy a few years ago from my biology teacher from school, and I was surprised for how this therapy could help or prevent some people from their illness.

Gene therapy it’s an experimental technique that uses genes to treat or prevent disease.  Researchers are testing several approaches to gene therapy, including:

Replacing a mutated gene that causes disease with a healthy copy of the gene.

Inactivating, or “knocking out,” a mutated gene that is functioning improperly

.Introducing a new gene into the body to help fight a disease.

But Gene therapy is under study to determine whether it could be used to treat disease. Current research is evaluating the safety of gene therapy; future studies will test whether it is an effective treatment option.

Several studies have already shown that this approach can have very serious health risks, such as toxicity, inflammation, and cancer. Because the techniques are relatively new, some of the risks may be unpredictable; however, medical researchers, institutions, and regulatory agencies are working to ensure that gene therapy research is as safe as possible.

This technique it’s important for my carrier because will allow me to improve people's health more effectively.
