Gene Therapy Overview
By Drew Albrecht
Gene therapy is the (HELP). Genetic disorders like cystic fibrosis, phenylketonuria, sickle-cell anemia, and many more, are a result of mutated or absent genes. The goal of gene therapy is to treat or cure such diseases via genetic modification of the cells in an affected individual. This genetic modification can rewire the cells to either produce a therapeutic effect[Kaji] or simply just replace the mutated or missing DNA[Lai].

A citation code consists of a hyperlinked reference within "ref" begin and end codes.
To repeat the citation for other statements, the reference needs to have a names: "<ref name=aa>"
The repeated citation works like this, with a forward slash.[1]
