❖ What is Gene Therapy?
Human genetic disease= result of mutation or
deletion of gene (s)
❖ Aims: To treat the cause rather than the
symptoms of the diseases= caused by single
gene mutation or deletion (e.g. Haemophilia,
Cystic fibrosis, Muscular dystrophy)
❖Treatable acquired diseases= more than one
gene affected and no clear identification of the
position (s) of the defect (e.g. cancer,
Parkinson’s & Alzheimer's disease )

32 ❖ Delivery of replacement or insertion gene
sequence into cell nucleus
❖ To reach site of action, DNA sequence must pass
a number of compartments.
DNA, RNA, central dogma of molecular biology
DNA= deoxyribonucleic acid, carbohydrate unit
2-D-Deoxyribose
= represents genetic material
RNA= ribonucleic acid, carbohydrate unit 2-D-
Ribose
= essential for biosynthesis of proteins
=different types; here important mRNA
