Germline Gene Transfer. Gene transfer represents a relatively new possibility for the treatment of rare genetic disorders and common multifactorial diseases by changing the expression of a person's genes. Typically gene transfer involves using a vector such as a virus to deliver a therapeutic gene to the appropriate target cells.

Researchers typically do this using a virus to carry the genetic cargo into cells, because thatâs what viruses evolved to do with their own genetic material. ISTOCKPHOTO/SERGEY SOROKOVYKH.
