Genetic Disorders and Gene Therapy

Stem Cell in Gene Therapy

Stem cell treatment is a process where the stem cells are used to make disease free of life through treatment of diseases. They have the potential to treat various life threatening diseases. The unique feature of these cells to divide into multiple stem cells and differentiate into specialized cells makes them apt for the treatment of many diseases. The present researches suggest that stem cells can be used for treating the genetic disorders as well. Apart from treating diseases like brain injuries, Osteoarthritis, diabetes,  learning disabilities, various types of blood cancer, Sickle cell anemia, Parkinson’s, Haemophilia, and Thalassemia, etc.., The cell defect due to mutation result in a wide of variety of genetic disorders. The transplantation of stem cells where the normal stem cell replaces the defected cells can be used for treatment of genetic disorders and diseases.
