Théoriquement, la thérapie génique peut revêtir plusieurs formes dont l'addition génique, la modification génique in situ et le remplacement génique. Cependant, dans les applications médicales actuelles du génie génétique, seule l'addition de gènes est praticable. 2, record 1, French, - th%C3%A9rapie%20g%C3%A9nique%20de%20remplacement
