Conclusion

Posted by Ares Wednesday, December 1, 2010 1 comments

Gene therapies are currently being studied in more than 50 clinical trials. This method holds considerable promise for many inborn errors of metabolism. Gene therapy for inborn errors of metabolism requires the development of biologically sound strategies for correcting metabolic defects, vectors for controlling the expression of therapeutic genes, and methods for delivering vectors safely to patients.
