The genes in your body’s cells play a key role in your health. Indeed, a defective gene or genes can make you sick.
Recognizing this, scientists have worked for decades on ways to modify genes or replace faulty genes with healthy ones to treat, cure, or prevent a disease or medical condition. This research is paying off, as advancements in science and technology today are changing the way we define disease, develop drugs, and prescribe treatments.
