Gene Therapy - CISMeF

Preferred Label : Gene Therapy;

NCIt synonyms : DNA Therapy; Intervention, Genetic; Gene Transfer Procedure; Molecular Biology, Gene Therapy;

NCIt related terms : GENETIC; Gene transfer;

NCIt definition : Application of genetic material (usually DNA) into cells in order to permanently correct an inherited disease or acquired disease.;

Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: Treatment that alters a gene. In studies of gene therapy for cancer, researchers are trying to improve the body's natural ability to fight the disease or to make the cancer cells more sensitive to other kinds of therapy.; CTEP: Treatment of human disease by gene transfer.; CDISC: Ex vivo or in vivo gene modification of cells in order to correct or treat an inherited or acquired disease or condition. (CDISC Glossary); CDISC-GLOSS: Ex vivo or in vivo gene modification of cells in order to correct or treat an inherited or acquired disease or condition. NOTE: Gene therapy mechanisms can include: Replacing a disease-causing gene with a healthy copy of the gene; Inactivating a disease-causing gene that is not functioning properly; and Introducing a new or modified gene into the body to help treat a disease. [After Natalie Mount, et al. Cell-based therapy technology classifications and translational challenge. Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci. 2015 Oct 19; 370(1680): 20150017; After What is Gene Therapy?, US FDA, 07/25/2018] See also cell therapy, regenerative medicine therapy, regenerative medicine advanced therapy, biological product.;

NCIt note : Gene therapy techniques attempt to replace a faulty or missing gene associated with a particular disease, mediate localized delivery of a protein producing specified therapeutic effects, or introduce new cellular functions.;
