Gene therapy implies the delivery of the nucleic acid in the patient cells in the form of a drug to treat diseases.
Gene therapy can be classified under two types and they are somatic and germline.
Viruses are often used as carriers of the genetic material.
The genetic material of the viruses is substituted with the nucleic acid and then the virus is used for therapeutic purposes.
Adenosine Deaminase Deficiency (ADA) can be treated in a similar manner.
