Leveraging Genomic Information for Safer Gene Therapy
<p>Gene therapy holds enormous potential for the treatment of genetic disorders, which are caused by mutations in DNA disrupting normal gene function. These mutations can be monogenic, affecting a single gene, or polygenic, involving multiple genes. Since, the first gene therapy treatment for SCID …
