Genes, which are carried on chromosomes, are the basic physical and
functional units of heredity. Genes are specific sequences of bases
that encode instructions on how to make proteins. Although genes
get a lot of attention, it's the proteins that perform most life
functions and even make up the majority of cellular structures.
When genes are altered so that the encoded proteins are unable to
carry out their normal functions, genetic disorders can result.
Gene therapy is an experimental treatment that involves introducing
genetic material into a person's cells to fight disease. Gene
therapy is being studied in clinical trials for many different
types of cancer and for numerous other diseases. This new book
offers the latest research in a field bursting with new
developments, hope and expectations.
