TRUE. Gene therapy goal is to replace or add functional copies of a/some gene/s. Many diseases have a genetic basis, that consists in mutations that interfere with the function of the proteins they code. Gene therapy might substitute these defective genes, with genes that have adequate bases in the mutation(s) site(s).
