Gene therapy.
A number of techniques are available for insertion of new genetic information into mammalian cells. some of these have been used successfully for genetic modification of germ line cells and somatic cells of living animals. Some of these techniques may be applicable to treatment of some of the genetic diseases of man, once problems related to the control of expression of introduced genes are solved.
