❌ aims to treat or cure ❌ abnormalities by replacing ❌ genes with ❌ ones.
Gene therapy is being used for single-gene disorders such as
Muscular dystrophy
Sickle-cell Anaemia
Huntington's disease
Cystic fibrosis
All of the above
The Human Genome Project has revealed the location of 3000 4000 5000( 3000, 4000, 5000 ) potentially faulty genes
Any disorder resulting in the loss or injury to normal cells is a potential candidate to replacement therapy
Which of the following TWO disorders are becoming potential candidates for cell replacement therapy?
Tuberculosis
Parkinson's disease
Alzheimer's disease
Cell replacement therapy for the ❌ involves the replacement of ❌ neurons with ❌ neuronal tissue
In Alzheimer's the cause for a shrunken brain size is due to
Loss of neurons in large numbers
Loss of connections between other neurons causes neurons to die
❌ impacts the ❌ and areas responsible for language, reasoning and ❌.
What kind of cells are used in cell replacement therapy?
White Blood Cells
T-Cells
Red Blood Cells
Stem Cells
The primary objective of ❌ is to restore healthy ❌ and tissues for patients and thus eliminate the need for tissue/organ transplants or ❌ transplants.
