Gene therapy is being currently developed in labs across the world‚ with the goal of eventually being able to alter a person’s genetic make up effectively and consistently. If the subject has a missing or defective gene‚ scientists are able to inactivate the mutated gene and transplant a normal healthy one. Should the mutated gene be responsible for the lack of production to a particular protein‚ gene therapy may be able to restore normal function of the polypeptide and essential save the cell and
