Genetic therapy, also known as gene therapy, is a field of research focused on using genetic material to treat or prevent diseases. This involves introducing genetic material into a patient's cells to correct a genetic mutation or provide a therapeutic effect. Genetic therapy can involve the use of various technologies such as viral vectors or CRISPR-Cas9 to deliver and edit genes within cells. This promising area of research has the potential to revolutionize the treatment of genetic disorders, cancer, and other diseases by targeting the underlying genetic causes.
