La thérapie génique est sans aucun doute un espoir immense pour les malades, mais [le] terme lui-même est extrêmement ambigu et recouvre des approches très différentes comme la thérapie cellulaire, l'immunisation par ADN, la régulation de l'expression génique, la modification des cellules germinales. 2, record 1, French, - modification%20des%20cellules%20germinales

Técnica de terapia génica que consiste en modificar los espermatozoides u óvulos de un ser vivo, con el objetivo de crear un cambio permanente en el mismo y en los genes transmitidos a sus descendientes. 4, record 1, Spanish, - modificaci%C3%B3n%20de%20c%C3%A9lulas%20germinales

La terapia génica se divide en dos categorías. La primera es la alteración de las células germinales, es decir espermatozoides u óvulos,lo que origina un cambio permanente de todo el organismo y generaciones posteriores. Esta terapia génica de la línea germinal no se considera en los seres humanos por razones éticas. 2, record 1, Spanish, - modificaci%C3%B3n%20de%20c%C3%A9lulas%20germinales

La modificación génica germinal se caracteriza por la manipulación del Genoma Humano para obtener una alteración del mismo que sea duradera y transmisible hereditariamente, toda vez que se realiza sobre células sexuales o germinales. Supone, en definitiva, la creación de seres humanos transgénicos, respecto de los cuales la modificación genética es hereditaria y pasa a las sucesivas generaciones. 5, record 1, Spanish, - modificaci%C3%B3n%20de%20c%C3%A9lulas%20germinales
