Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gene therapy is a possible cure for severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), a rare genetic disorder that affects the immune system. In gene therapy, the defective or missing gene responsible for the disease is replaced or repaired with a functional one, potentially restoring the immune system to full function. Genome mapping, reverse transcription, and microarrays are not directly related to treating genetic disorders like SCID.
