Gene therapy can help add to or change non-functioning genes—creating a great opportunity to assist with rare inherited disorders, which are passed along from parents. The transferred genetic material changes how a protein—or group of proteins—is produced by the cell. %%EOF Viruses are sometimes modified into vectors as researchers remove disease-causing material and add the correct genetic material.

The effects of current gene therapy approaches are limited to the treated patient’s cells. Gene therapy could be targeted to egg and sperm cells (germ cells), however, which would allow the inserted gene to be passed to future generations.
