It is likely that animal research will lay the necessary foundation and open up ways to study genetic events occurring in human embryos made from gametes donated by parents at increased risk for transmitting such genetic diseases to their offspring. Experiments comparing mechanisms in the abnormal embryo with those in the normal embryo may yield knowledge that will lead to treatments, including in utero gene therapy. Without such knowledge, in utero gene therapy will be a shot in the dark. 1, record 2, English, - in%20utero%20gene%20therapy
