Francisco Said:Why has gene therapy been unsuccessful in curing human genetic diseases in the past?We Answered:Gene therapy involves the insertion of genes or genetic information into a patient's cells in an atempt to treat diseases, usually those related to heritable genetic aberrations/mutations. Some major issues confronting the successful insertion of such genes are:
-the fact that, due to how rapidly many cells in humans divide, current gene therapies can only be inserted into a small number of the host's cells.
-the fact that the host's immune system attacks the viruses used to insert therapeutic genes.
-the problems viral vectors present...

Primary Immune Deficiency is another one. It's genetic, meaning you were born with it, and also means you have it your whole life.

Diabetes also causes increased susceptibility to...
