Abstract | Gene therapy involves the introduction of genetic material into cells as a therapeutic molecule to cure a disease. Through the transfer of specific nucleic acid to the target tissue, gene expression can be downregulated, augmented, or corrected thanks to the nucleic acid sequence as a support of gene expression. This is achieved through molecular interactions according to the sequence arrangement or the secondary structure of the molecules or through their catalytic properties. Over the past two decades, the rapid advances of knowledge and technologies in gene therapy have led to the development of different strategies and to the extension of its use to numerous indications, including certain cancers. Major success has been achieved in clinical trials and the field of gene therapy is booming. Several gene therapy products are now on the market in Europe, the United States, and China. In this review, we cover the basic principles of gene therapy and the characteristics of the main vectors used to transfer genetic material into the cell. As an example of applications, we address the various strategies applied to a rare pediatric muscle disease: Duchenne muscular dystrophy. © 2023 Published by Elsevier Masson SAS on behalf of French Society of Pediatrics. |
