Gene therapy is also called human gene transfer. It is used in the treatment of many genetic disorders. Gene therapy focuses on fixing a genetic problem at the source. It can be used for recessive diseases and developing new strategies that are capable of treating conditions with a dominant pattern of inheritance. The ever growing need of advanced technology is the reason that has fueled the research in the field of gene therapy in recent times.
