Mechanisms of Genetic Medicine
Question
Which of the following statements with regard to genetic medicine is/are correct?
Select the answer using the code given below:
Options
1 only
2 and 3 only
1 and 2 only
1, 2 and 3
Explanation
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. Genetic medicine uses targeted molecular therapeutics to fix, replace, or deactivate malfunctioning gene sequences to address genetic disorders. These therapies utilize delivery systems like disabled viral vectors (such as adenoviruses) or synthetic lipid nanoparticles to securely transport the therapeutic genetic material into target cells. Statement 3 is incorrect because these interventions target specific gene coordinates rather than modifying or altering an individual's entire genome sequence.
