With the discovery of various types of immune-related disorders, there is a need for diversification in prevention and treatment. Developments in the field of gene therapy are being studied to be included in the scope of this treatment, but of course more research is needed to increase the positive results and minimize the negative effects of gene therapy applications.

This is one of the first studies of a CRISPR-based in vivo human gene editing therapy, where the editing takes place inside the human body. [266] The first injection of the CRISPR-Cas System was confirmed in March 2020. [267] Exagamglogene autotemcel, a CRISPR-based human gene editing therapy, was used for sickle cell and thalassemia in ...

At $25,000 a go, the gene therapy works by turbocharging the body’s production of follistatin. It is, according to Minicircle Inc, the small US startup behind the therapy one of humanity’s ...
Gene therapy [227] uses genetically modified viruses to deliver genes which can cure disease in humans. Although gene therapy is still relatively new, it has had some successes. It has been used to treat genetic disorders such as severe combined immunodeficiency, [228] and Leber's congenital amaurosis. [229]

Animal testing for gene therapy began in 2007 with a 2009 breakthrough in squirrel monkeys suggesting an imminent gene therapy in humans. While progress in gene therapy for red-green color blindness has slowed since then, successful human trials are currently underway for achromatopsia, a different form of color vision deficiency.
Intravitreal gene therapy represents an approach to treating retinal diseases by delivering therapeutic genes directly into the vitreous humor of the eye. [1] This method uses a viral vector, often an adeno-associated virus (AAV), to carry genetic material into retinal cells.
