Gene therapy uses recombinant DNA to insert functional gene alleles into cells with faulty ones, often using viral or liposome vectors, allowing the integration and subsequent synthesis of necessary proteins.
- functional alleles of genes can be inserted into cells with faulty alleles of genes - functional gene can be delivered using virus or liposome vector - gene integrates into genome - proteins synthesised using functional gene
