Note

  • Gene therapy is a medical/surgical intervention currently being developed, in which genes are introduced into cells in order to treat or cure a wide variety of human diseases. It has attracted much interest since the first submissions of phase I clinical trials in the early 1990s, for the treatment of inherited genetic diseases. The possible application of gene transfer technology to treat AIDS, cardiopathies, and neurologic diseases is under evaluation. (Source : INRA)
