Gene therapy may be classified into two types by the type of cell it affects: somatic cell and germline gene therapy. In somatic cell gene therapy (SCGT), the therapeutic genes are transferred into any cell other than a gamete , germ cell , gametocyte , or undifferentiated stem cell .
Gene therapy was to restore some of the sight of mice with achromatopsia. The results were positive for 80% of the mice treated. [7] In 2010, gene therapy for a form of achromatopsia was performed in dogs. Cone function and day vision have been restored for at least 33 months in two young dogs with achromatopsia.
Alipogene tiparvovec (Glybera): AAV-based treatment for lipoprotein lipase deficiency (no longer commercially available); Axicabtagene ciloleucel (Yescarta): treatment for large B-cell lymphoma [1]
The information within a particular gene is not always exactly the same between one organism and another, so different copies of a gene do not always give exactly the same instructions. Each unique form of a single gene is called an allele. As an example, one allele for the gene for hair color could instruct the body to produce much pigment ...
Gene flow is the transfer of alleles from one population to another population through immigration of individuals. In population genetics, gene flow (also known as migration and allele flow) is the transfer of genetic material from one population to another. If the rate of gene flow is high enough, then two populations will have equivalent ...
A more recent focus of the journal includes Cell Therapy, with genetic modification, in essence ex vivo gene therapy. Previous issues have focused on the latest developments in gene transfer, gene expression and regulation, development of novel gene delivery vectors, and ex vivo gene therapies, animal models, and human therapeutic applications.
Human karyogram. Neurogenetics studies the role of genetics in the development and function of the nervous system.It considers neural characteristics as phenotypes (i.e. manifestations, measurable or not, of the genetic make-up of an individual), and is mainly based on the observation that the nervous systems of individuals, even of those belonging to the same species, may not be identical.
A tumor suppressor gene (TSG), or anti-oncogene, is a gene that regulates a cell during cell division and replication. [1] If the cell grows uncontrollably, it will result in cancer . When a tumor suppressor gene is mutated, it results in a loss or reduction in its function.
