Gene therapy is a medical technique that involves modifying the genes inside an individual’s cells to treat or prevent disease. It allows doctors to treat a disorder by inserting, altering, or removing genes within a patient’s cells instead of using drugs or surgery. Gene therapy can be targeted at somatic (non-reproductive) cells to address conditions like cancer, cystic fibrosis, heart disease, diabetes, and hemophilia, or at germline cells, though the latter is more controversial and heavily regulated due to ethical concerns and the potential for changes to be passed on to future generations.
