Germline gene therapy involves altering alleles in reproductive cells, ensuring that all subsequent offspring inherit the corrected genes and are free from the targeted genetic disorder.
Germline gene therapy alters alleles in the sex cells (sperm or egg), meaning any offspring produced will inherit the corrected genes and be free from the disorder.
