REPORT DESCRIPTION
Gene Therapy Market – Overview
Genes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which contains essential information for producing
proteins that are crucial for the optimal functioning of the body. Genetic disorder is the result of gene
mutations in which proteins are made incorrectly. Gene therapy is intended to introduce healthy gene into
damaged cells to counteract for abnormal genes or to make a protein of interest. Mutated gene causes
missing of the important protein, with the help of gene therapy normal copy of that missing or faulty
protein can be introduced to restore the function of the protein. All over the world, gene therapy is being
extensively studied by the researchers for the treatment of various diseases such as HIV, Cancer,
Parkinson’s disease, hemophilia and even immune deficiencies through various approaches. For instance,
According to 2015, article published in Journal Gene Technology and Resistance to Viruses has shown the
future prospect of the bone marrow gene therapy for HIV treatment.
