Bernales M3S3Diagnostics

Tristan Arthur C. Bernales is a student in BS BIO 1B. He was asked to list what he knows about gene therapy and GMOs, and identify potential problems from innovations in these areas. Gene therapy aims to alter genes to correct genetic defects, prevent or cure genetic diseases, and enhance capabilities. However, safely delivering genes remains challenging. GMOs aim to enhance organismal capabilities but could negatively impact human health through nutritional changes, allergies, or side effects like toxicity.

List down what you currently know about gene therapy and GMOs and think about
possible problems that may arise as a result of these innovations and fill up the table
on page 163.

 to enhancement people’s capabilities beyond undesired side effects such as

transfer.

A gene can't easily be inserted


directly into your cells. Rather,
it usually has to be delivered
using a carrier, called a vector.
Gene Therapy

 Gene therapy seeks to alter genes to correct


genetic defects The most common gene
 prevent or cure genetic diseases therapy vectors are viruses
 to bring people up to normalcy because they can recognize
certain cells and carry genetic
material into the cells' genes.
