Answer: With gene therapy

Step-by-step explanation:

Manipulation of DNA or RNA is used to treat disease with gene therapy. This type of therapy is introducing genetic material into cells because it should compensate for abnormal genes or it should also make a beneficial protein.

Gene therapy is able in some cases to introduce a normal copy of the gene and after that, it can restore the function of the protein.
