Comparing gene therapy with current standards of treatment

Abstract

Gene therapy holds a significant promise of bettering the treatment modality. Gene therapy offers the potential of lifetime cure. Suffering patients become asymptomatic with the respective disorder when gene therapy is administered. However, there exists an underlying issue on the matter concerning long term effects and the high cost associated with gene therapy. This study is meant to overview the benefits and safety associated with gene therapy and compare it with the standard ways of treating patients suffering from genetic disorders. The study will offer a comprehensive resource on the available evidence of future and ongoing trials and research.
